The Mercenary..., Octavius

OOoooo..., double posting..., what am I thinking!

How about a brief tale of me then??

Go on you know you want to....

I stem from a mix of English, Irish and Norwegian lineage, makes for an interesting personality I can tell you!

At school I excelled in the subjects of English, History, French (Though I can only talk about pencils, tables, and say my name these days), and accounting. I was heavily into sport, cricket in the summer, hockey in the winter. Though in my last year I destroyed me knee in a fantastic "Caught and Bowled" (I leaped up to catch the ball, and landed on my big toe, the momentum carried me forward and my leg crumpled pulling my knee around on an odd angle). After some time recuperating I left school, having grades good enough to get me into University. I didn't go though, instead I did a year at polytech (trade school for our American cousins), as pre-apprenticeship training in mechanical engineering.

Having become "Super" bored with that, I went to Uni, where I spent five years ona three year degree in History and Classical studies. My plan was to become a teacher. However just before I went to teachers college, there was a spate of sexual abuse charges on male teachers, all proved to be false, but the lack of support for the teachers made me reconsider my options.

I then went into bar work, and spent the next few years building up my skill base and reputation. At the end of that part of my life I was responsible for the administration of two hotels and over forty staff. Having had enough of that responsibility I went to work as a Helpdesk Operator. That lasted a year and then I was back into the responsibility of loads of staff. This time as a Flow control Administrator, and Resource Planner for the call center.

After some nasty politics, and some hefty backstabbing, I thought to myself..., "FUCK THAT!" and went back to the helpdesk.

So there it is people, a brief history of me.

Maybe next time I will tell you another story....
