    Anyone worked for the UN?

    As above really......
    And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

    Some on this board have an association with UN Intelligence Taskforce.

    However, some have been on the other side.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Do you have any more specific information around what the role is? I had a friend that worked there for a year. Rates were pretty poor and the hours sounded heavy. Probably project/area dependent though.

            I'll second that - it' as much lifestyle choice as a work choice working for the likes of charity/environmental/humanitarian orgs.

            But the work is usually interesting - I've never seen incidents on a service desk tool like the one's at the UN.

              One I had ...

              There seems to be a problem with the new VSAT network station in Baghdad.
              OK - tried then to call techies at the UN embassy in Bagdad - odd the voice link (on the same VSAT circuit) aint working either ???

              An hour or so later we realised that the UN emabssy in Bagdad had been bombed to smithereens.
