Does anyone else see the irony in Apple computers being highlighted as “contaminated with some of the worst toxic chemicals”? (source)
It took 7 months (almost to the day) since I finished university, but on the 4th of August I was offered a job. I accepted.
I’m going to keep the name of the company off this blog, but if you ask me else where I’ll tell you.  In a nut shell I work for the directors of the company looking after the computer system of the two companies they run and own. It’s a small computer department of 4 people which look after a mostly windows environment, with linux boxes used on the external systems.
The company is spread over 2 sites, and originally the team had only 3 people it it. One person looked after each site and the 3rd was the programmer for the internal applications who also did quite a bit of user/system support. My manager has been added to bring the team up to 4 and I’m replacing one of the guys who has handed his notice in.
At present there is some good equipment (hardware etc) in use but the systems aren’t quite as good as they can be. My manager was brought in to use his experience and bring the various systems closer together. I’ll be working with him on that as well as the daily issues raised by the users.
I spotted this on a packet of crips about a fortnight back.
Note the small green V at the top right of the packet, for those not aware what this means it’s the symbol used to signify vegetarian friendly food.
Doh!
