I'm a computer programmer, I work for a consultancy who then pimp me out to whoever, currently I mainly write online finance quotation software for a couple of major car companies, although ive also been doing some stuff recently for an oil company too for document management and rather randomly for the national trust, and I have a part time job as a freelance motoring journalist.
Previously I used to program power station control systems and oil, gas, electricity and water distribution networks, which TBH I should have stayed in as its a lot more stable industry! And I also worked programming for a couple of mobile phone companys for a while too.

Quite fancy a total change next though, maybe a PGCE or something

special needs,, the department that tales a day to reply to emails and the usual reply is " contact product manager for correct part number and get back to me"

fucking HATE that department dicking about between them and the "product managers who most dont have a clue or give a shite,,,,, was just a fucking nightmare and so many special orders where lost due to this crappy system in place

guy calls up for a part,, takes 24 hours to get a reply and tell them it will be there in another 2 days,,,,,, the blokes usual reply was " oh, sorry mate i got one elsewhere, fitted it and the car went out last night"

such a drain for no real reason
