In that time, I have learnt an awful lot about everything related to the computer world.

I will admit, that at first I was rather embarrassed as some of the staff are more than half my age, and they knew more than I did. However, it is just something you have to take in your stride and grin and bear it. After all, they may know lots about computers, but I have plenty of knowledge about life and I could certainly tell them a thing or two. They probably are of the opinion that I am a bit of an old dinosaur and certainly well past my sell by date. Mind you, I reckon they could be quite shocked by some of my past misdemeanors and would certainly view me in a different light if they knew some of the things I got upto at their age!!

We are all very lucky because our employers really do go out of their way to take care of us.

We have a couple of computer consoles in our offices and usually at lunch time the lads participate in their daily Playstation or Xbox challenge and the office becomes a very riotous place, but it is all played in good spirit. We also have a pool table that is very well used by them all.

We have a brilliant staff incentive scheme. This was initially set up for staff who not only do a brilliant job, but because they also go that little bit further than they have to.

It works quite well and we are nominated by other members of staff and then rewarded. So far I have managed to bag a great bottle of Spanish Wine and a fantastic bottle of French Wine.

As we do have some youngsters in the office, other rewards on offer are chocolates, beauty products and gift vouchers, after all we don’t want them drinking illegally.

A nice bottle of Italian Wine has just been added to the collection of goodies so I might just have to work a little bit harder to see if I can get nominated!!

Right I am off to make drinks for everybody and see if I can earn myself a few extra brownie points.
