Global thermonuclear automotive policy strategy.

In practice this means a) talking shíte convincingly and b) management by walking about saying things like, "You can't do that!"

Not really. I produce the tools that allow other people to sit there watching it (though it doesn't move in real time). And move data between systems. Extract it. Transform it. Manipulate it. Clean it. Repair it.

Never had a job. Not a proper one anyway; no fun and the money's too small.

I did used to swan about in Global Areas of Conflict though, monetising trouble.

Yes. You should do a video diary detailing the things that annoy you. I think that would be both content-rich and entertaining.

I was in a meeting like week with a Dutch and a Yank and was introduced to them as being the Head of Operations.

Came as quite a shock to me I have to say as I have never been described so before, however I sat back and rolled with it. Leter the Yank asked me if I had a business card, presumably with respect to touching base or maybe sending me an invitiation to Linkedin with him, but I said No.

I was gonna add that tbh, same with silver and bronze, metallic ink you see, need to run it through twice as well for it to look decent. Glad theres no call for it anymore.

Dealing with nips is very tedious on the business card front. They treat them like holy relics and apparently get quite offended if you give them one that's creased and written on. :rolleyes:

You know what I like the best about getting new business cards. I take them out of the cool plastic box they come in **** the cards off and use that box for all manner of things at home.
