I used to be a nurse, have also trained as a software engineer, yet ATM I make my living from translating, proofreading/editing, technical writing and coaching/training scientific writers. Funny how life takes these turns...
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J
"...anyone who says it’s “just the Internet” can . And then when they come back, they can again." - Tigger

What are your thoughts on cheese?
I was not asked this question! Is it important for forum life?
I am obsessed with cheese. In fact when I left my last work to start my own company, my leaving gift was a huge selection of cheese!
Do you mean to say you have never sat the Rationalia entrance exam?!? Good Lord! Not that we ever aspired to any standards but if we had, they would certainly have seemed to have slipped.

If I remember correctly, you got your under-footman to sit the exam for you...
