Just resigned from my IT job for Macmillan Publishers / Macquarie Dictionary. 12.5 work days to go!

Will be taking over my partner's coffee van as we've made a baby and it's about to pop out.

Principal Risk and Safety Engineer - basically means spending most of my day in front of a PC modelling and calculating the risk to life for offshore workers on oil rigs. Most of it is during design in order to minimise the risk.
 
The real world still isn't quite ready for me, so I'm still a student. Part way through my eigth year now. Hope to be an intern next year, which is technically some sort of doctor, but only technically. Anyways, 8 years of exams gives one an awful lot of time to procrastinate. Brewing is perfect for that. Making trickshot pool videos is less fruitful, but anything to avoid learning right?

Hydrographer come hydstra system manager.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I hate the, "So, what do you do?" question. Sometimes I just say builder coz I dont want to explain.

Nah, I think its got to do with mapping out peoples hydro setups! :D

Was a mechanic for 9 or so years, left it all behind at the end of last year to go to uni and study Biotechnology.
Got sick of working the hours, up to my elbows in grease and dust all day, to get paid peanuts at the end of the week.

That's what everyone says. Guess in the old days that was it. Hydrography is the study & measurement of the water cycle. Includes fresh, waste, rain, underground, water tables, evap, blah blah blah.
Just about every weather parameter you can think of thrown in.
Being a hydstra manager is maintaining the software that hydrographers use.

Pop quiz - who is the most famous hydrographer?

Im an Audio Producer - mainly for the radio and tv industries across australia, but also do some work with bands, musicians etc. Also a photographer in my "spare time"
 
I was a boilermaker, then I realised there was more money to be made workin' with me head rather than me hands so I re-studied and became an engineer, of the mechanical kind.... Have been everything from a drafting Enginner to an Aus wide sales engineer. Spent the last 4 years being a pseudo-tribologist for a big capo oil company
