ex teacher at the University (GIS, statistics and data anlysis), ex oceanographer (for the MoD) and currently climatologist working on high latitude storms (polar lows) and also on the influence of the sun on the climate.

Funny you should mention that. I am not crazy about my current job, and in fact have a preliminary interview with a rather well known Internet company for a sales position in about two hours. Hope I get it, would give me a decent bump in pay and awesome benefits.

I work for EDF, one of the British electricity boards that are now owned by the French(!).

I started with them when they were Seeboard (South eastern electricity board) as an apprentice back in '99 and reached Craftsman level 5 years ago.

I used to be a department manager/computer tech for Staples, but a year or so ago, I became dissabled due to a really annoying and debillitating medical condition. I'm currently on dissability and am, after TONS of tests and medications, finally to a level where I can start looking for work that I can physically do with this dissability which won't be easy.

I don't see it that way: every job is important in it's own way. And it does not give me any benefit when I try to sneek in a convoy or try to avoid a DD :rotfl: .

No, sorry. The thread you are referring to is from a Hoogheemraadschap. One of the regional and independent organisations for water management. I work for Rijkswaterstaat, a national organisation (helped out for instance in New Orleans after the floods). Some information you can find on www.rijkswaterstaat.nl. Happy hunting. Aniuk

Edit: It is nice to see how many different sort of jobs, generations and people are united in playing SH4.
