Audi A/S8 Owners & their Work!

[ScottD3]

I do like these style of threads.

My current job is IT support which I hate and boring as well.

Outside of work I'm pretty much a jack of all trades and willing to try my hand at anything.
Always willing to help anyone with anything that I can.

Same here, but I've been running my own business for the last 10 years so I'm happy.
Pretty much retired now anyway, so only work part-time as and when, mostly for long-standing local customers.
Off shortly to help a local SME business with migration from XP to Windows 8.1. A couple of similar jobs later in the week.

Thats a nice little jump for them.

We just rolled out Windows 7 Via SCCM and that was interesting.

I assume the industry has come along way since then? You say 4,000 metres down. The Titanic is 2.2 miles down so the machines that you build would be OK for that but near to the edge of the ability depth wise.

Regards, Mark.

I never did hear that story about Jaws, but yes the subsea industry has moved forward since then.

The biggest issue is the pressure at depth. Usually electrical connectors leak and cause problems, on the systems we use most of the electrical cables are oil filled to prevent issues, but it still fails from time to time.

The Titanic is certainley within reach or the machines I operate but unlikey to happen.

This is what we normally do.

Reminds of the Abyss. Love that film.

I'm a director at a marketing and design agency. Most of our clients are B2B and we offer a full service package; print, online, pr, copywriting, planning and market strategies.

I'm a designer by profession so if you want something to look pretty, I can help. We also place a massive amount of print so we can often get mate's rates from the printers we use as a favour to us, so bear that in mind if you ever have a print requirement. I may be able to save you a few quid.

Based in Norwich but we service clients throughout the UK (and Sweden bizarrely.)

I have no idea. All I know is that he was flying out to the Gulf of Mexico last year, and this year was working off Rio. I'll have to catch up with him over a round of golf soon.

I'm a chauffeur, working almost always in central London and the outskirts for a few different clients but with trips up to Manchester every now and again. Contracted to a company which has a few vehicles but I drive mostly for one family who are occasionally in the public eye and use their own cars so I get to various events and meet new people which I enjoy the most. And of course enjoy driving the cars lots. I spend most of my time in the new Range Rover, Merc S500 and sometimes a new S400 Hybrid so have lots of toys and gadgets to keep me amused whenever I'm waiting around and playing 'chase the parking warden', which is fairly often.

Did a RoSPA course and a security driving course last year and have a bespoke Mercedes-Benz course at Brooklands lined up in November.

Suppose I can't really aid anybody on the forum directly but thought I'd say my bit on the thread anyway!
