anyone who has read the amzing literature version of \"The hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy\" would understand my signature and would, surely deserve a pan galactic gargle blaster at my expense!

Don't worry. I don't think anyone here would try to out-weird you!! :P
i used to be a c++ programmer (86-2000) doing mainly windows based process control and sims. now i play guitar and have my own studio (www.minor3rd.com).
i spend most of my days either recording or producing.
Wow, thanks to everyone for their support and PMs! This is a great community!
Insideout,
I appreciate your sense of humor too! Thanks for the vote of condifence!
T L F,
Thank you for looking over my resume.
I would say I am locked out of banking--there is very little room for creativity in that industry due to its maturity, the extremely heavy regulation, and the (typicaly) very traditional, conservative corporate cultures. The main reason I left FirstBank was to get out of banking.
I'm not looking for a specific industry, but I would like to work for a dynamic, evolving company that thrives on change and improvement. That said, I don't have much experience outside of banking, so I've been applying a lot of places, but mostly to companies in sectors such as telecommunications, tech, aerospace, etc...
What do you do?
Archon,
I actually love everything with Douglas Adams' name on it, except that BBC TV mini-series to which you are referring. In my defense, Mr. Adams even says in the Salmon of Doubt that that series is only thing he's done of which he isn't proud. So in my opinion, the \"original\" is far from the best in this case!

Jagesso,
I am a Market Manager ( which basically means I oversee a marketing, engineering and sales group that designs hardware process equipment and solutions). The specific market is Protein Technology so any application in animal and plant protein work comes under this \"Market Unit\".
I asked if you were tied to the banking industry because up until a year ago, I thought I was really tied to a different industry but if you have the management skills and open mind, and your resume seems to say you do, they are likely easily transferable.
I am an equipment support technician for Elcan Optical technologies. My main area of responsibilty is maintaining the high vacuum thin film coaters.
A lot of our work is defense related, things like optics used in laser guided bombs, also Predator and Global Hawk, and other targeting devices in the Infra Red spectrum. Been here twenty two years. Can't tell you anymore, I'd have to use one of our targeting devices on you. :twisted:

I think this is tre cool....
So... You have been able to support yourself with music? Or did you just make a killing during the IT/IS boom years that you don't have to worry about it....
I also have a second job that is more of a hobby really. I am a dog breeder, and I really \"get into it.\"
Manidog... um, I mean Manitou, I'm going to have to ask that you seek professional help :shock: or join an online dating service. At the very least, stay away from my dog 8)
Hi all new name old face. Since the forum moved without telling me. Ha! nice of em? Been working on my day job. I DRIVE A TRUCK. How cool is that? Just back from another trip to europe and in this fine weather there is plenty to look at with grrrrreat curves Wahahahahahahahahaha!
Hey, a lot of interesting jobs... we even got a firefigher & all!!
I'm a Civil Engineer, I'm a building contractor in Mexico... your regular Bob the Builder... working on my own company, since I've grown tired of bad bosses & stuff... the only bad thing of working for myself is I don't have anything for granted, but... has anyone?? :roll: The cool side of it is I've done many unusual buildings and covered very specific needs... and, you know, being behind the curtain gives you access to many places you'd normally won't see!
Keep on rockin', you make a nice community!! ...and call me if you need to build something!!!
