I work in IT for hospital.  Built the Domain Controller, fax server, VM servers ect, designed and built our network at our remote location and so on.  Fun and exciting but also very stressful and tiring.  I do restore Amigas for my hobby though and currently restored an A2000HD, 3 A1000s, an A500 and A3000.  Currently have an A4000 I need to start working on, but finding MB parts has proven a bit tougher, think it be easier to try and buy a MB from Ebay or something lol.

@Crit. You're a nurse? LOL

I don't know why but i always thought everyone here worked as programmers or something similar.

I actually went to college to learn IT. I was good at networking and both access and sql databases. However A paperwork snafu for the uni I wanted to go to forced me to miss the intake and so I ended up getting a job. And well I kind of enjoyed the money and continued to work.

My wife is the one karate chopping the ribbon.  You-know-who is the one going in for a bite. ;)


Wait you went to Iraq with that belly? Shame on you :razz:

@Crit. Good for you. It could be worse. You might have ended up a midwife or a chemist :razz:

I wanted to be an electrical engineer but couldn't get into it as there was too much competition. Your job sounds really cool.

Right now I'm an IT guy that is in Afghanistan helping the US personnel there.  When I get home, I'm starting a business.  I'm going to start as a cyber security / pentesting consultant and try to branch out and start an actual full on company with brick and mortar office, employees, etc.  And I hope to do this in NY city :)
