Friday five: it’s all about work

\<!\[CDATA **1\. What do you do for a living?**  From 9-5, Monday to Friday, I am IT \& Systems Manager for a marketing company located in Melbourne. If it’s got buttons or wires, it’s my problem. I’m in the middle of moving the organisation away from reliance on Microsoft products, and making our systems more open and accessible by our clients. 

At all other times, I work on making websites. I’m working on one right now for an independent record company based in Vancouver. It’s going to be the best record company site ever, and very simple to administer. It’s nearly finished! 2. What do you like most about your job?

It’s challenging. I’m doing interesting work, and I can do pretty much what I think is a good idea. I’m a department of one right now. 3. What do you like least about your job?

There’s not enough time in a day to do everything I want to do. Also, there’s a Linux server that’s been giving me the shits lately. Serves me right for not using FreeBSD. 4. When you have a bad day at work it’s usually because

People expect something that takes a week to do, to be done in 1 day. 5. What other career(s) are you interested in?

Designer, studio technician, restauranteur, talk show host. Yeah. Not writer anymore.]]>
