pmsumner at 11:46pm on 23/08/20021. What is your current occupation?
Customer Services Advisor for T-Mobile (UK). Basically sitting on my arse talking to people who have to pay their bills, who are lonely, or who can't figure out how to set up voicemail on their phones.
2. If time/talent/money were no object, what would your dream occupation be?
Programmer or systems developer/engineer for Pi Technologies. They do Engine Management Systems for various people - Ford, Vauxhall, various F1 teams...
3. What did/do your parents do for a living? Has this had any influence on your career choices?
Dad... navy.
Mum... care work of varying descriptions.
No. I have always wanted to be a geek. Neither of my parents come close to geekdom.
4. Have you ever had to choose between having a career and having a family?
No. Hopefully never will - career will win every time.
5. In your opinion, what is the easiest job in the world? What is the hardest? Why?
There are no easy jobs unless you enjoy the work so much it becomes play. The hardest job is the one you don't want to do. Basically - if you enjoy it, it's easy. If you dislike it, it's harder.

I have it on good authority that they're currently looking. Might be worth an attempt.
