What TT readers do for a living

Bond, Derivatives & REPO Trader for the State Bank.
Basically I play around with your Tax money trying to make little into lots. Hindered by the annoying but true fact Germans wouldn't know good business practice if it came up and bit them on the bum(1), and an institution full of unsackable Beamte-like D.P.O.s(2).

Ah, Rant time over. I feel better now.

(1) Crass generalisation, that is somewhat supported by the German expression "Warum einfach, wenn es auch Kompliziert geht" = Why do things simply, when there is a complicated way as well.

(2) Deal Prevention Officer. Great expression I first heard whilst broking in London to describe a living hinderence to trading about as much use to business as rollerblades to a goldfish.

I fill my day with dogs and American tourists.

I chat to the dogs about Munich and walk the American's around for their excercise.

or something.

While here: Studying
While at home: Working on parachute and aerial devilery systems
At any given time: Sucking at life

@DW: Don't doubt it! If aero engineers made the F-117 skyworthy, anything is possible!

dont make me laugh mate! ;-)

Well, that's what I'm supposed to be doing anyways... The second two are true though!

So true, so true.

I am a Key Account Manager extrordinaire (ahahaha) for a company that does online shopping (product search, price comparison etc.) - both on the ASP side and the commercialization in Europe (Germany, France, Italy and the UK). As a native "English" speaker I get to take care of our UK clients, although half the time I don't understand them. I try to find new portals that want to include our shopping search on their sites, and I try to "optimize" our existing deals/do the daily operating stuff for them. So, anyone got a portal?

Ha ha ha! You funny.

I push paper and clip things. Its important.

You mean I'm not getting paid for this?!?!?! Dang, now I'm going to have to get a real job.

That's brilliant. That's going to all my Anglo-Saxon fellow-sufferers in the department.

I can see many TT-ers don't do what I do, because come 6.45 p.m. and the on-line numbers start to plummet. It gets a bit lonely in the twilight hours.

I'm the King of Finland.

Niama Tukka!

Whilst in Germany, I have been a chicken farmer (until the fox ate them), general dogsbody for Opa's engineering firm and until last month, student (again).

I'd like to challenge myself and get another job but my computer skills are limited, my age is a barrier and I'm no longer fit to tackle physical work. I'm keen though if anyone has any suggestions.

Good Luck Granny - you deserve a job for this excellent quote that made me grin. Beautiful piece of honesty that is only possible with the maturity of age and confidence in yourself.

Find something you can flog on ebay! Non-technical really and everyone seems to be doing it.

I also freelance for a market research company and do some webmastering.

@Timmeh,
While thats a different perspective, Pls come out of your world too...
There are several jobs involving eyes and fingers... Good & clean examples would be typing, painting...

Credit controller...I have my ways and means of making people pay...

I will never come out of my world...the real world is boring.

Good clean examples are boring, I'll stick with my idea of what you are, it's more interesting

Excellent. The Fritzette owes me €285 but I haven't the heart to ask for it. But if you could, er, send some "pressure" round, I'll give you and the boys a cut.

I'm a tour guide. This year I'll be doing several tours...so a good variety. It's rare that I have a day with a tour that I don't enjoy. ..and even when I'm not giving a tour, I tend to hang around the office to help tourists out or whatever...

I've been putting posters up for clubs as well. It's not bad, I've seen much of the city I otherwise wouldn't have...and the people I work with are very cool.

@schoolboyerror

Well you are a software engineer / developer so obviously you can't be expected to actually use the stuff (believe me I know, I too belong to the guild of the chip monkeys).

@Yeti,
A SW Developer / Engineer who does not search and copy codes from elsewhere, does one exist?

Im working for various Munich breweries (who I cannot name) as mystery customer and In my spare time im part of a team designing and developing the software for a flight simulator.
