    Hi guys.

    I'm a Civil engineer. I basically build big projects such as bridges, roads, buildings, drainage and services etc . . . . .

    My job is to:

    - Study the drawings and specifications
    - Set out the works so everything can be built in the right place and level and also correctly
    - Order materials and engineering equiptment.
    - Keep equiptment and labour time sheets and compile quality and inspection records.

    I've been doing this now for 6 years. Before while a studied (A levels) and during holidays i worked with my brother converting lofts and with a shoppfitting company.

    Im also a trained carpenter and brick layer.

    I work for a health insurance company, I test the code that processes the benefits and pays the claims. There are a lot of subsystems involved but if mine isn't working right nothing else is!
    So if your claim paid wrong I haven't gotten to that code change yet :P

    I work fulltime in bank telephone customer service. Low-level tech support, resetting people's online passwords for them when they call in. I enjoy this job; it pays well, and my employer is pretty generous and I get along with my coworkers mostly. I get to be friendly and helpful over the phone; I used to do collections, and it is such a relief not to try to make people pay!

    As for hobbies! I love gardening, and art; drawing and painting. I do this on the side, for fun, not actually as a job. I also plan on taking over my husband's duties in which he schedules himself to tattoo people; because he is often overbooking himself and really needs the help!
