As little as possible

Seriously, my official job title is "Technical Specialist"...
Basically, I'm a COBOL cum Java cum C++ cum VB cum Web developer turned environmental support person, which basically means I support the Banks test ATM's (hardware and Software), middleware and supporting mainframe applications plus other server and mainframe applications in our Testing Environment...

My dream job is a Troubled Teens Councilor (even if I did it for free.. I was a troubled teen, so I think I could do better then someone who studied it, I WENT THROUGH IT)
