I do a lot of computer stuff. There is no one really capable of verifying my work in terms of time it takes to accomplish objectives, but I do reach them. Some of it is really hard. For instance, I have to annually analyse some 50 million lines of data for a major report to a government department.
I recently built an Access database for use by another team. I had the pleasure of badging it with the City logo so all the users have the crest on their task bar all day. My United fan colleague is most annoyed by this, but he ain't smart enough to change it.
During slack times I get to torment others. I have this programme on a shared drive which I managed to install as a start up option for my red colleague. His PC plays the Windows shutdown sound randomly, and our IT people can't work out how it is done. He gets to hear Bluemoon whenever his PC is turned on.
All in all, work is OK. Pay isn't bad, and I am pretty much trusted to manage myself.
If we could have a thread for work pranks, I could write a whole chapter.
