My official title is Technical Architect, responsible for the design and delivery of some very large (and expensive) IT systems!

Current project is to deploy a document management system which captures all inbound and outbound communications and stores them against the customer record so they don't need to store paper copies.

I also run a variety of staff development (training) courses -Word, Excel, Email, soon to include Staff induction to our own ITIL project - and deliver specialised thesis based courses to Postgrad students. ..and it's just about that time of year when things go mental for us and we need to be in 6 different places at once.. :rolleyes::D
Myself and another colleague also run the ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) centre for the Uni. Phew!

does that mean you work 28 days on, no days off at all then you get 28 days off?

28 days off would be good but 28 days straight would be very tiring.

I'm a social worker in a busy city centre Children & Families Team. Most of my work is in the field of Child Protection with kids ranging from pre-birth up to adulthood. Busy and never boring. Am toying with the idea of going back to uni to do law so that I can diversify a bit though no hard decisions made. Ive spent nine years in total at uni so not sure if I really want to go back to that. I think I just like dreaming about being rich and not having to work:thumbs up:
