I am a freelancer, working currently at IBM for a major Dutch Bank. Current title is AIX (a form of Unix) SME (Subject Matter Expert) for some big migration project. I also create exams, do trainings and various other things. 40 hours per week is my aim though I am hardly sad when that isn't the case (charge by the hour, whoooo!)

On the side I hook my mates up with all kinds of techy stuff for their home (FreeNAS storage with offsite backups (for their family pics and whatnot) which has all kinds of nifty programs (sabnzbd/sickbeard) and networking our houses together (EoIP) so we can share all kinds of goodies (and because we can).

Basically, your garden variety geek.

ps thank heavens for Final Salary Pensions , God rest their souls

I enjoy spending the pension I worked 37 years to accrue - I concur with the above statement. :roll:

My ambition is to take more out of the pension fund than I put in - I think I am well on the way to fulfilling that one.

40 hours is a short week for me

I'm saying nowt on the grounds that thanks to the F@@kwits in the financial industry the pension that I have been saving for the last 20 years aint worth the paper the it's printed on and no longer trust any of them further than I can throw them.
No idea what to do for the future now other than stick it under the mattress.

Anyway

I am CEO, General Manger, Pa and general dogsbody of a small firm (me) specializing in giving technical support in the installation, commissioning, servicing and breakdown repair of Liquid Packaging production lines, anywhere in the world (within reason) that will pay me.

Actually, Adamski and I were plotting to break into and drain an oil refinery on the Thames Estuary a short time ago... Hmmmm.

I am an Account Director at BT Global Services looking after our business with large corporates - until recently I worked in the team running our Royal Mail Group account, and now I run the sales and service teams supporting a large defence company, and a European IT infrastructure, services and solutions provider. I used to do 37 hours a week... unfortunately, despite my best efforts, that's a distant memory Can't complain though, still getting paid

LOL, I would suggest taking this thread back on topic before it turns into a dick swinging contest about final salary pensions and how people made their fortunes

I work for a financial software company and have a background of application and hardware support. My official title is "Technical Specialist", but they have yet to tell me what this specialty is, seems to me a bit of everything

Neat thread! I hadn't noticed this one before.

I'm a writer / technical writer specializing in professional audio, musical instruments, camera gear ... a nice blend of audio and visual media stuff. Basically I help my Japanese clients plan and execute their promotional materials and sales tools for the English speaking world.

As you might have surmised from the above, I also do a bit of of music and photography in my spare time. 8)

"Spare time," sadly, is usually in short supply.
