Mr. Tristen Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think yours beats mine, but I'm enjoying my new job.I now work from home, sitting in a big comfy chair in my room with all my music. I can wander off and take a break anytime I please, same with eating etc. I have a coffee machine and some very tasty coffee. I have a shop right next door for snacks. A 2meg internet connection on which I tend to play some online RPG's or browse forums as I work. I get to boss two of my friends around. I can go out whenever I like so I don't miss any social events due to work anymore so long as I keep up with my schedual at some point. Oh and when I'm feeling a bit uninspired I just have a few ice cold beers. All this and I'm being paid about 25 quid an hour for my time, doing something I actually quite like, and courtesy of laptop with wireless internet I can even work in bed (not that I've resorted to being that lazy yet).

Mr. Tristen Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm now writing php applications and databases for various companys as well as building php driven backend control panels for websites, and upgrading current html ones over to php to take advantage of the new control. I am also doing a lot of work developing plugins for phpNuke and phpBB. At the moment I am working on an entire admin-end database control system for a company called HPR (UK) Ltd, building them a system to manage their client base from a web based enviroment and basically setting up and running their webside and office network as well. The pay is really good. In theory I'll work for ten quid an hour, but the last two jobs have been more than double that at the end of the day.Lot of hard work and takes a lot of discipline, but loving the self employment so far. I am also taking a 'break' shortly to go out to Northen Cyprus and help runs my dads holiday complex development - again hard work but well paid and I get to spend some time in the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
