Byron wrote:It's all gettin' a bit 'pen and whig' in here.......Perhaps we could ask for those who show a little 'interest' in the occupations of others, to enlighten the rest of us as to their own occupation. Maintaining an 'even-playing-field,' for a fairer match, so to speak. (Rhetorical)

Point taken, Byron.

My profession is to juggle the bits and bytes ERP systems are based upon. I oil the machines, adjust the tables, code the requests and design the procedures. I am the Finance Departments' Computer Guy, but of late I could add Purchasing and Logistics to my clientele.

When I'm not too busy giving the people what they want, I violate the languages of the world and mistreat poor readers' eyes with lines I dare call "poems".

What's your occupation, James?

I believe 'james' is a back to basics man. You name it, 'james' can tell you all about it. Or, he may be a bit of an entrepreneur. Or as the French say it, entrepreneur. (Note to GWB already transmittified)
Or, he might be another 'james' altogether, or even more interestingly, another 'james' who is not altogether.
My money, if I had any, would be on the fifth element of choice, which has yet to take place.
Anyway, whatever 'james' does, I'm certain he does it to the best of his legal expertise.

Gosh, so many facts, so many stories, so many characters, so many statements, so many refreshers, so little time, so let's hear it for 'james'!

But, on the other hand.......................I have four fingers and a thumb.

Or as the late great Freddie Frinton put it in his marvellous "Dinner for One":

James: "Same procedure as last year, Ms. Sophie?"

Sophie: "Same procedure as every year, James!"
