What do you do for a job?

[rodgerd]

Coming from a DBA background performance is all I think about.

Coming from a sysadmin background, good logging is my number one. Efficiency follows a close second 8).

I just heard that season 4 is due in mid September !!

Yeah, well, mine's shipping even as we speak from Canada.

Whitcoulls had 3 copies of seasons 1,2,3 and the season 1 packs were in a smaller plastic box rather than the current box sets.

I saw the new Season 1 pack in Real Groovy. It's almost tempting to replace the current box sets, considering how much shelf space it would save. Although Bab 5 is hardly the worst offender on that front (Buffy, anyone?).

Not sure why they put those wings on the tank, maybe so it would look a little less like the monster. Who knows. To be honest I didn't like them much until I actually saw one. I think they look quite different when you see them for real.

Yeah; it's funny how different bikes can look. I think the Hyabusa is a mobile work of art, but it's a lot shorter in real life than it looks in photos; the Cagiva Raptor looks like a prop for Aliens when it's in a magazine, but looks a bit more normal in the skin.

Another "IT Geek"

Heh. I know a chunk of the more recent immigrants into Westpac who came form the Bank of New Zealand - Keith Lawry, Bruce Laken and the rest of that mob.

Good one Jack - we shelved our tow truck when the new regs and licences came in...the boss couldn't afford to pay for 6 licences,and we couldn't afford the tats.You got the tats covered and sun glasses are cheap.

[Storm]

I am an apprentice electrician for Her Majesty's Army out at Linton- mainly domestic installations,rewires etc. Have got a fairly decent tool kit they have issued me with, and the best bit is, if I break any of it, they replace it free !!

[Dodgyiti]

I am an EHO (figure that one out) and sometimes monitor noise levels from a wide range of sources, usually industry. You must do a fair bit of work for pubs and the like would'nt you ?

I used to do residential noise control also, but now that is contracted out to a security firm. While I enjoy a bit of loud music myself, I once served a notice on the local mongrel mob (with a Police escort of course).

Oh yeah, I considered doing acoustic consulting to verify vehicle noise levels, with all the hoohaa about boy racer's exhausts etc, but considering the limits are pretty low (85dBA from memory) MOST if not all aftermarket exhaust systems would fail anyway.

I too am in the Environmental field, but I work in with 4 large companies in the manufacturing side, cleaner production etc..
And one of the companies makes DUCT TAPE !!
Yeah, it comes off the coater in 25,000 meter reels 1200mm wide !
Alright start sucking up

[Blakamin]

Music manager at a jukebox manufacturer/exporter.
which basically means i have to listen to lots of crap music (HipHop sux) and keep our customers happy by supplying them custom playlists/updates etc..
IT man for said company
which means when some idiot breaks it, I gotta fix it.
And the better half is a part time phone answerer for a welly and Auck jukebox hire company.
yes, we build them and sell them to ourselves.

so if you're having a party, it might pay to talk to me so i can get you a deal

also am an ex spraypainter if you bike needs a coat or two (or 5 and a few of clear)

Well for a bit of varity this Winter (from Horses Shoeing), I have been pulling tits twice a day (80 nipples at anyone time, and getting up to 800 nipples each shift), and teaching the young how to suck (around 80 of those little buggers now). Would enjoy it more if it was not for the 5am wake-up, and all the shit that gets flung at me on a daily basis.
But on the + side I get to ride the company bike daily . A big powerfull CT125 (must admit I'm enjoying playing in the mud with it, but it would be better if the company director got the front wheel bearings fixed (front wheel wobbles like you wouldn't beleave ). Font brakes work (just, only because I worked on them, although he did pay for the replacement cable).
Well better Fu*k-off, 800 nipples are waiting for me
