Wow, I didn’t expect such an attention on my first day since joining the club! Thanks guy, I am flattered.
Well, I may as well introduce myself, and apologies for not having “come out of the closet” earlier, but I try to stay away from computers on weekends (not that I succeeded much, being Sunday..)
Anyway, first of all let’s disappoint those “sexually adventurous people” out there and let’s reassure Flubster: it does mean Business Intelligence. By the way, Ardesco, if you ever find that fit as **** chick with an even fitter girlfriend let me know (and with that we have also resolved the mystery of my gender/sexuality…).
Now, about me: as my username suggest (or I thought it did before reading this post), I am a Business Intelligence contractor (mainly Business Objects, but also Crystal Reports/Enterprise, Reporting Services and the obligatory DB stuff (SQL Server, DTS, some datawarehousing etc.). I have worked as a permie for a few BI consultancies for some years before “seeing the light” and deciding to join the contractors fraternity early this year and, I have to say, things have been great since then and the future looks even greater. I know I am preaching to the converted, but isn’t it great when you don’t have to deal with office politics, fascist and ignorant bosses, “implicit contract” sh*t and all the like? Now it’s just a business transaction: all I need to do is do my job (professionally) and all the client has to do is pay me. Great!!
But I am digressing! All I really wanted to say is nice meeting you, the forum looks good and I have already found some very useful information on it, so please keep it up. And if any of you needs some BI help, I’ll be happy to throw my 2 cents worth of support.
Happy posting
