Forgive me. I'm still working out the daft:serious ratio here. It seems about 4:1 at the moment which is perfectThe Martian wrote: Wed Nov 18, 2020 7:57 am I am aware of the origin of the quote.. I am also known for making daft comments

4:1 was a little optimistic in hindsight, however I think you may have exaggerated a tad.Rockburner wrote: Wed Nov 18, 2020 12:32 pmMore like ∞:0 for you mate....The Martian wrote: Wed Nov 18, 2020 10:59 amThat's about my ratioTrinity765 wrote: Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:07 am

Re: What's your job ?
Left school at 15, day release for 4 years studying industrial chemistry / processing.
Worked initially on Pancoxin, Ivomec, Thibenzole in animal health, stint in QO analysing in process samples, then on human health, Aldomet, indomethacin and dexamethasone. The latter was in a small scale plant producing 2kgs a time. It was mega expensive then, way more than platinum. All told I have processed or tested a dozen or so globally marketed products.
Trained as an instrument technician, built and maintained control systems. Wrote a training program and was promoted to technical trainer. The company paid for my degree and started to have me travel to the USA and EMEA region. Joined the leadership team before becoming global L and D director. Now in my last months of work.
I have been one lucky person. Never asked for my career, it just happened.
