I don't have any funny IT work stories I can think of at the minute.
But....
When I was about 19, just starting out, I got a job at a remote site to decom' some comms cab. A bird there was flirty as f**k with me, previously. She was a few years older, but 9/10 and thus, way out of my league...
Alright alright Alex Ferguson.
In fairness I lower and accept low wage contracts, as I always though it affects the wage budget. But I don't think it does 🤣
When these first came out, I was on meganesport and put a deposit down on what was like a group buy for one 🤣 I can't remember how it worked, but they were getting them from a Renault dealer at business deal prices and it knocked a couple of £k off the list price! You just had to be the second...
We have a vacancy for a network engineer. If anyone knows anyone looking?
Nearest offices either Crawley or Doncaster.

Ah, you're dev. Well you still smell, obvs, but I think we were on about engineering (or I was).
As in... Manufacturing. Electronics, shop floor stuff. Folk in white coats, Asperger's etc.
Automated self service without governance. Jeez they heading into a car crash.
I did it for an MSP once, allowing firewall rules to be created - approved by non-techs. 🤣
Thank god I left
Manufacturing and engineering and awful for I.T.
Ancient apps, general tinkerers, knowledge in people's heads, nothing written down, want things bespoke, never see the big picture or how corporate IT governance is there for benefit of all, refuse to patch, refuse to restart or turn off, run a...
Went to a Microsoft consultation in the village next to me today (Eggborough -north Yorks). They're putting a data centre on the old power station site.
Be done for 2027 apparently.
Dedicated to Azure & AI.
Asked if it was going to be 'azure north' given south and west (London and Cardiff)...
