From Robots & CNC training, support & troubleshooting to being part of my family's business in colorbond fencing. I don't install them but rather manage the staff (and we have a lot of them) which I can tell you is hard. I don't know how I've kept out of jail. Murder is high on my list.

So I figure why let the frustration stop at the end of the day.....why not get involved with pinnies and get frustrated 24/7

yeah anything that involves a mac, i'm OK, it's all the electronics that i wouldn't have a clue about, funnily enough, my old man was a trained electrician... even built our 1st TV on the kitchen table and all I did was watch the Mickey Mouse Club %.% %.% %.%...

Up to 2005, I spent 30 years in the Motor trade, as a panel-beater, the last 22 years of those was in my own business in South East London. We did employ a couple of Aussie panel beaters too during their touring of Europe, really good they were; they told me they were good because of the lack of new panels in AUS, hence they had to learn to repair nigh on everything. Whatever, they were OK!

Since 2005,my business partner and I started a water-fed pole window cleaning business which is doing well, we have continued to expand during this time, although the UK is in a bad recession so I dont know where anything is going right now!  If the so-called global recession hasn't reached you guys yet, then good for you.

OK, thats about it!

I'm an IT guy, work for an outsourcing company on the account of my former employer of almost 8 years. Sys admin for Windows boxes.

It pays the bills, but admittedly computers have not held my passion for the last few years as they did before that.

I have two months left of my Electrical apprenticeship.
I've been working at the same gold mine now for eight years on a fly in, fly out roster.
Not very exciting really.
