    Now heres an idea

    As per the title i have an idea that a few of us may be interested in doing and it could make a good read for the rest of us.

    Know because i'm nosy i'm always interest in what some people do as a job so i though that we could perhaps have a week of one of us writing a kind of blog thing about our jobs updating it frequently throughout the day if that's possible and then after one week smeone else doing it.

    Just though it could be an interesting idea and read.

    Now if we were to do it we'd probaly be best to wait till after new year as the next couple of weeks have lots of breaks in them and aren't quite normal but then, that could also make an interesting idea.

    So what do you think then Hexus.

    Re: Now heres an idea

    I think it sounds pretty cool tbh, might be up for doing it too - unfortunately I've just finished my last full week at my current job (placement) - my longest week now is only 4 days, and is next week!

    Re: Now heres an idea

    Could be interesting to read about other People's jobs! I doubt i'd want to write about my own... As much as I love it, i'm there nigh on 10 hours a day and find it so hard to switch off that I usually end up dreaming about the place

    Hells yeah! Count me in, I won't be able to write anything up until the end of a day though, since I actually have to do work instead of dossing around on the internet all day

    I'm a professional gambler. I doubt anyone would be interested on a tech site.

    Haha, could be a laugh where I work.

    Getting called out all over the place because a cleaner has unplugged something to put their hoover in, and nobody seems to understand the importance of power sockets when it comes to electrical devices

    Re: Now heres an idea

    Well, I'm currently unemployed (hopefully going to change soon!), so wouldn't be very exciting But this thread did remind me of this old article

    A little section:
    Monday 8:05am User called to say they forgot password. Told them to use password retrieval utility called FDISK. Blissfully ignorant, they thank me and hang up. God, we let the people vote and drive, too?
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Unfortunately my job wouldn't make very interesting reading! Got up, went to work, sold stuff to people, got yelled at by people who bought stuff they don;t know how to use, went home

    One day I'll have a job I can talk about! Just not today...

    I'm in uni studying architecture so I have plenty of time to write up what a day or two is like. Would make an interesting blog for me to read too! Definitely count me in.

    Re: Now heres an idea

    Hmm, random thought here, but what about a Hexus.Social blog area with a once a fortnight member spotlight?

    Maybe it'll make a change from all the tech interviews
