Most of my dates are goers. 50% get up and go before the main course.

she's a Methodist. Quite shocked when I said I was a Satanist.

Pay also depends what you are in. You overpaid b*s in banking and other commercial sectors get about double what us lot in the engineering sector, aircraft, oil and gas, power etc., get.

Still, as a confirmed geek, I really like programming. A world with just machines and computers and no f* people would be brill!

I love what I do, when I think of the cr@p life I could have ended up with (an inner city secondary school Maths teacher ), doing what I do now is a god send, being paid a relative fortune to develop software is happy days

I had a good day today - wrote a nice pivot query with a common table expression that made my query run about 1000x faster

Looking closer (not just searching for information, I obviously failed as a tester there) quite a few things that might fit CUKers. Also:

(117) Programmers and software development professionals 40,165 7.377

Think that's more me.

most of the time nowadays I'm a happy chappie.

Not sure 93 is a fair place, compared to some of the other workers in the firm I have a great life.

Oh yeh! I did an IR35 fail there. Maybe HMRC should assess how miserable we are. The more unhappy the higher the degree of control.
