        That sounds good to me, can we swap jobs now? :3
        I’m just your regular administrator who dabbles in with the IT dept as much as possible. (The company I work for at the moment aren’t exactly the best, but work’s work.)
        I’m trying to push and get myself into the IT dept here (I did work in the dept for 3 months as part of my ‘work experience’) and have been in this company for 30 months now! (I’m 21 BTW :P)

          Fellow IT nerd. :) Over the last 10 years I’ve worked as a CIO/VP of IT/IT Trainer. My specialization as CIO was bringing large scale projects to fruition on time and under budget. I’ve had the pleasure of working with different team members across the county and the challenges that came along with it.

          38 here.

              Awwrrr… Why are people in the sort of jobs I want to do!
              I guess this is what I get for living in the UK in a, not so rich, town/area. I’ll be courteous on the forums but this area really isn’t the best =w=;’

                  Believe me, I’ve tried… And I’m more knowledge and practical than some of them are… By a sizable margin too |:

                        I’m an audio professional and musician/sound artist. Looks like I’m the odd one out.

                                      This is very true. Artwork and video will be very important for Feathercoin.

                                      As for me, I haven’t had a job for years. I’m a serial entrepreneur, of sorts. I live for a living, is that satisfactory?

                                            Firstly I have a startup company with my brothers doing industrial automation projects. We work primarily with 3D Printing and converting manual assembly to robotic.

                                            Secondly, I am also a ACE Certified Fitness Instructor at Planet Fitness Salt Lake.

                                            Yes, two drastically different worlds, but between the two I find my balance :)
