Damn Marcin.
Nice little(ish) bio.
You like doing all the bits that I like doing but with a little bit more education than me.
I'd try anything at least once to make sure I can't do it.
If I can't do it then I'm happy to pay someone to do it, otherwise I'll do it my self.
Not found much I can't.
Welding is the one thing at the moment but I only had one chance to try it. I'll try again when I get another chance but that time I might try tig welding over mig.
This weekend I stripped my clone trooper helmet and start fitting LEDs to make it glow.
Needs a few more round the back, little less voltage to dim them down and correct routing of the cables.
The wife has challenged me to make our advent calendars out of wood this year.
Looking forward to that.
Back on subject I guess.
I'm 32, work in IT and I hate it.
The job is boring, no prospects and its pretty much dead but due to my own fears and insecurities I'm unable to venture out of my comfort zone and look for something else, so I'm here till forced out or I nut up and move.
Been in IT since I was 17 on and off.
Pre college I wanted to be a mechanic, I had a passing interest in computers. My parents convinced me to go for a career in IT. This decision was aided by my grandad who bought my first PC. I went to college and did a 2 year course in IT.
From then till now I've tried different jobs but always went back to IT cause I found it easy, slightly interesting and the money was good (back in the day).
Spent my college years fitting kitchens, contracting and working for my friends firm.
After college I spent several years contracting, between contracts I would take pretty much anything that would bring in money to fund my need to ride my motorbike every waking hour (average 30k a year over 3 years).
I've done warehouse work, cashier, making house alarm, epos field engineer, general field engineer, cake maker and dismantling BMWs.
About 6-7 years ago work was drying up at the dismantlers, I was not doing well generally or looking for work. The girlfriend got offered a promotion to assistant manager but it meant we had to Plymouth.
Me out of work, house payments started to mounting up, we decided to move.
Spoke to my friend who I bought the house with and we agreed to sell it soon as possible so we got no ties.
That never happened and all went to pot but that's a different story.
We moved to plymouth. Sarah was assitant manager for a year, her manager moved on and she got promoted to store manager. She was store manager until 3 weeks ago when the company went into administration.
I bounced from a 12 months IT support contract, to a rolling laptop repair contract and finally to my current roll of 2nd line support which I've been in for the last 5 years.
In the time we moved to plymouth we've got married and bought our own house. Which is nice.
Interested to see what the next chapter of our lives have to hold.
