"What do you do?"

Im sure most of you who regulate this forum have some sort of IT-based job, so... what is it you do?

Web designer, programmer, system admin, network specialist, build computers... blah blah. Or do you use your computer for doing some other sorta work, like video editting, making spreadsheets or simply using Word?

Just curious.

Also, anyone know... anyone who uses 3D Studio Max?

How corporate did that sound!?;)

Student and part time/freelance web developer - omplete integrated web solutions based on a core backbone of a solid UNIX architecture, with industry-leading PHP and MySQL technologies and infrastructures.

Urgh my fingers feel dirty.

I am currently a IT Insurance Evaluator\Repair Engineer, What i do is, when one of you guys "accidently" drop your computer down the stairs (strangely it is the oldest peice of cruddola you are likely to see let alone use and should be in a museum) and need to claim it off of your contents insurance then it will come to me or one of the engineers that work with me, we first of all decide wether you did in-fact accidently drop your system down the stairs or wether in a fit of rage you got your seldghammer out and smashed the thing to smitherines, then we spec in up exactly and say what is needed to repair said system unit, Notebook, Mac or server and carry out said repairs or the insurance company will replace it.
Not a bad job all-in-all some of the excuses people give us make me laugh though.

I left school and did a few months IT at college then decided i was bored with learning and dossed around until i was 19 when i got a job in building computers for government bodies (councils, Schools and MOD), i stuck this job for a year and learnt a lot about computers, Then i got a job as a Computer engineer at Special reserve in sawbridgworth building and setting up the MAXX range of computer, i stuck this job for 3 years and learnt even more thanks mostly to one of the engineers there who really knows his stuff and i believe still works there, cheers nick ;). Now i am working at above job and have been for 18 odd months now and am classed as one of the best engineers they have (head grows larger if that is possible).

At thats my story.
