What's your job???

[ozimax]

I have been Captain of a fixed track boat in a themepark,

Does this mean a one track mind?

 

[ANstar]

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

 

[Lord Mud]

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.

 

[Platy]

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!

But think of the retirement plan

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.

...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"

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

 

[Nigelinoz]

God Free ? wasn't he in dad's army ?

 

[Arthur Hodgson]

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).

Now that is what I call interesting work.(I don't know whether you do
yo yo ma) but the idea of an oil rig in the PNG jungle is fascinating to me.
