    LOL - I never get these gigs! I am the one that does the work of those that do this.

    Had a guy once that would just, well be on the Phone practically ALL day. Never knew what he did - or even if he was really speaking to anyone - and he'd also just disappear for lunch for hours on end. Never got caught till I nominated him to right a HLD for a solution - got given notice by the 3rd week.

    My plan B is quite dull to anyone outside a very niche market. But could be worth a few hundred million dollars in a few years, so I find it quite exciting.

    I grab this info and store in my data warehouse, which I point loads of various reports at.

    I'm also working on processes which will send a text to the guys mobiles if a job comes in during the night.

    As I normally just work on boring Financials or HR Systems, this is as exciting as it gets for me!!

    My last project was brilliant; GIS tracking ambulances, fire engines and police units around the country. Did one once testing software for tracking polution spillages at a water board. Some brilliant telecoms stuff along the way. Now bored out of my brains but slowly getting stinking rich at a bank.
