Get Everything Done

I'm interested to know the various fields of work you're all in. It would be neat to see a sampling of the diversity or work FV is effective in.

Personally, I'm a pastor.

I am a Professor of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.

Utility management consultant, non-engineering (management, accounting, commercial, performance management etc, the so-called "soft" stuff which is really the hard stuff), home in UK, work in developing countries in strange places with questionable people, off to Jordan next month.

I work in a library, and currently studying to be a therapist.

University lecturer teaching programming and other stuff

I call myself an "itinerant sociologist". What that really means is part-time faculty, part-time graduate student (writing my thesis), and full-time brains-of-my-household.

Cogntive Analytic Therapist - predominately working in a specialist community mental health team

Administrative Assistant to four people in the Sales Department of a large San Francisco Hotel. Amateur Photographer.

Part time Controller for small family owned business services company and part time stay at home mom

Ex Relationship Manager for Financial Institutions in Germany and now self-employed Tour Operator in South Africa.

Mark: 'Soldier'

As I am a military history enthusiast, what was your arm of service/regiment, if you're allowed/willing to say (my home is in Hereford!)?

I told She-Who-Thinks-She-Must be Obeyed this week that we need to make holiday plans for 2015: 200th anniversary of Waterloo plus 600th of Agincourt.

I'm currently reading Dead Men Risen: The Welsh Guards in Helmand Province, Afghanistan by Toby Harnden (ex RN, now Telegraph correspondent in US), long, well written, searing in places.

I am a postdoc (young researcher) in Astrophysics.

I am a solicitor.

I am a VP in a software development and consulting company (focused especially on agile software development--a movement I've been heavily involved with since 2001).

My usual forum profile says "A researcher, civil engineer & information technologist working in a transportation company; hailing from Klang, Selangor, Malaysia".

A little bit more info is on my personal profile site www.smsabri.com .

Mark:

Thanks for that. I suppose you will literally be tracing the route of your regiment in the retreat.

WW1 is entering the national consciousness again as we approach 2014. That's a good thing because I hold a view that Britain has never really 'recovered' (however one might define that) from WW1. A glance at any memorial across the country shows the costs vis-a-vis WW2 which was the conflict of my parents' generation and thus more familiar to moi.

I am re-reading 'Peacemakers' by Margaret Asquith, it's about the 1919 Paris Conference, fascinating stuff because we are still today living with the consequences of the decisions taken, and not taken, at that conference.

Last May we took Gill's Mum (now 90) on a short break to Bruges and this included a day around and in Ypres. Gill's grandfather got his MM as a signaller with a South African unit there. It was a moving and emotional experience for her, and us.

Now to add in FV: Check accommodation for 2015 Waterloo and Agincourt
