  • What do you do for a Living?

    Just curious. What is your job? What do you actually do at your job?

              I'm a software consultant.

              What do you actually do at your job?
              Work on projects for clients?

              Mostly in the financial services world. Some government. Prior to now most of the work has been with US investment banks, but recently (for obvious reasons), not.

              It's mostly short development cycle projects. We get RFPs, we submit a proposal, we sign a contract, we hammer out the specs and requirements, then we develop it. It's pretty fast-paced, we churn through the projects pretty quickly. Mostly agile development practices.

              Tech-wise, the company I work for specializes in Microsoft technologies (.NET 3.5 stack) but I'm known as the C++ guy, but I do both. With the investment banks over the past two years I've mostly done C++ on unix development, but lately it's been C# on Windows.

              We don't do Macs.

                Snore. What happened to your kid like wonder. When I was 5, I would want to be a firefighter or an astronaut or a ninja, not a boring software consultant. Grab life by the horns and do something that the 5 year old version of you would be happy with. In conclusion, I think cotton candy vendors have a wonderful job.

                  I help clients reconnect to my companies servers when they disconnect during poker tournaments, listen to them ***** about bad beats, help them deposit money into our company and something help them withdraw it.

                    I'm over manufacturing production planning. Boards, card cages, cabling and racks.

                    I did the engineering prototype for Bush Sr.'s Air Force 1, a program called HPTS that was a long trailing wire antenna extended from a recon aircraft that was built to withstand nuclear fallout, and the King of Saudi Arabia's royal aircraft (SARA), complete with a throne that swivelled to always face Mecca and kept him in touch with his medical staff.

                      I like what I do and it pays very well. I've already got *****es to do my bidding.

                      Firefighter? Give me a break. Those guys sit around jerking off all day and every now and then rescue a stupid cat from a stupid tree.

                      Astronaut? Take a good long look at the space shuttle. No thanks.

                      Ninja? Welcome to the 21st century. I'm a code ninja. We run the world, not the ninjas.

                      Go catch a dog.

                        Was it a porcelain throne?

                              You don't run the world you fascist. You run the space between you and your keyboard. Astronauts regularly space walk. I'm not having this conversation. Wikipedia astronaut and put away your fire fighter calendar. Time's run out, the clock is still ticking?
