Mr N just tells people "she has her own consultancy".
I suppose its better than "she tells people what to do all day".

Well as BGG doesn’t fully understand what I do (She’s a QS is his response) I could be smug as I can say that he is currently, a 3rd line support technician for a health care provider, at which most people go blank & avoids the whole “ohhhh computers well I have this problem..” issue.Growing old is mandatory

I got that for a local community group which I didn't mind at the time although some of the calls I got used to irritate me due to having to explain to non-computer types how to make simple changes. I do it for free but they insist on remunerating me with booze, the last payment was a litre bottle of Jack Daniels!Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

He has a bit of an idea (She's a computer bod who talks to business), but he's most impressed that not only do clients ask me to work for them, but that I'm well paid for it.

I get that all the time, so I explain that I only work for large corporate clients, ie. what they're expecting to pay for the whole website wouldn't even hire me for a day.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostComment

If only, you spend hours cleaning some filth infested virus from their machine, I'm lucky if I get a thank you. Grrrrrr They don't get that service again.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostComment

Even more interesting is how your kids describe your work.
I'm currently working on a datacentre relocation project. My eldest (8) asked me if I got to drive the van
When I was on the bench, he wrote in his news book that I didn't have a job, so now his teacher, and probably the whole school and community now think that I am on the dole between sporadic episodes of driving vans!Back at the coal faceComment

Ok, that's adorable. When I did a software deployment project at Caterpillar, my other half told his little ones that I work at a tractor factory.Originally posted by al_cam View PostI'm currently working on a datacentre relocation project. My eldest (8) asked me if I got to drive the van
A year on they still ask me about working with tractors.Comment
