ShaggyRS6 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Only a cople of times in my life I can say that I have had my breath taken away. It takes alot. 1. Diving in the Maldives, got to the edge of a reef then absoloute nothingness 2. Flying over the Pyrenees this year. Awesome sight of the mountains completely covered. Never seen them like that before, and I do it at least twice a month. 3. Walking into my Hotel Room in NYC. See below... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to get upstate to see the mountains if you've got the time. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Seriously, job satisfaction levels in your work must be close to nil. Imagine forcing you to go to a place like that, bloody scandalous! By the way, what is it you do if you don't mind me asking? Not that I want to apply for your job or anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting Si. We are trying to use Citrix whereever possible. We are having issues at the moment with getting Citrix to work properly using DDE links into Excel spreadsheets of 24MB + in Size. Know any consultants that want to earn a few quid?

Bradders Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I work for a consultancy that sepcialises in BCM, Info Sec, Compliance and IT Service Continuity, I head up the IT Service Continuity service line (I specialise in IT DR) and all I get to see is the office, airport lounge, and hotel rooms. I feel like the bloke who closes the stable door after the horse has bolted. Mostly get involved after the disaster has occured and the organisation wants to prevent another one (assuming they are still in business). Not got to the states yet but have done a few european countries. Still it is interesting and great fun espescially to see how unprepared some organisations are (well to me anyway)......
