What's your job???

Not open for further replies.
After being an IT Director for a large ad agency group in London I came back to OZ and started my own IT support business. I've just recently opened an online store as well (and just signed up to velocity's shopandearn too)

90% of my travel is personal:)
 
I am a Telecoms Designer who is about to start work in Libya after a lovely year in the UK. I head home to Australia at least twice a year and therefore fly mostly longhaul on my dime(as part of my packages) with a number of work trips to the US and ME. After my recent arrival back in Aus I will now most likley cough up the additional for J or at least PE when flying these trips home form now on.

My name is Heimie. I switched back to Kaos and now fight the forces of niceness....

Seriously, I am a Baptist preacher, and have travelled fairly extensively for 27-28 years, including 40+ overseas trips and more Australian journeys than I can count.

Formerly I was an Australian Airlines (read TAA) corporate sales executive and before that a pharmaceutical sales rep.

Income? Almost none.
Experiences? Priceless
Funding? Mastercard
Boss? God

Well, I don't like working for a boss, maybe that's why I'm an atheist! :D

welllll possibly, but since this is only my second post, I'll have to get to know you better before I answer that.

And in terms of my travel and points collection, in 2008 I did travel monthly for work although for 2009 this is being reduced to bimonthly, and personal travel is every 2 months, which will probably stay the same....
 
The only god I believe in is the one at the airport who hands out upgrades.:D

...based on my upgrade record you would conclude that (s)he is alive and well and working at the QP CNS...obviously the..."Spirit of Australia" :D

..better stop the humour before you have a virgin blue with someone who isn't "God-free"...:shock:

A work colleague of mine did that once in the Concorde simulator at Heathrow. He was working there installing a new radar system for the airport and was asked if he wanted to fly Concorde. Well he was expecting to be a passenger on a test/training flight and jumped at the chance. He was escorted to the simulator where they were training experienced pilots to talk a passenger through landing the aircraft. What an experience!

I have "flown" the space shuttle flight simulator at the Houston space center. I am a qualified pilot, but found it very difficult to land the darn thing. It "flies" like a brick on steroi_s. I don't think a non-qualified pax could land it (unless they were a computer game wizard).
