Been meaning to reply to this one for a few days now. I am 36, was born in wet, windy Glasgow, Scotland and now live in sometimes sunny, sometimes wet Nashville TN. I moved to Nashville about 9 years ago and got happily married to a born Californian, who now happens to live in Nashville. Incidentally we are planning on moving to Cali as soon as we can afford it, need better weather, lol. I am an aspiring author, but until such a time as my work is rightly perceived to be brilliant,lol, I work in an accounting office for a Grocery Chain. Kinda boring work at times, but it pays the bills. Other than writing I like reading and watching anything science fiction or fantasy. Wanting to spend more time out doors, but between work, too hot, too cold, too wet, cant really get out much. Only other interests are researching abstract bits of information in what makes the Universe tick - not very good at it, can only grasp a very small part of what scientists go on about, but I do find it interesting. Just your usual boring guy

I'm based in Kent in the UK and spend most of my time at a desk in London or on a train to and from London! When I joined the list I was a trainee accountant fresh out of uni, engaged to my school sweetheart and vaguely optimistic about the future and the world. I'm now a qualified accountant who realised he made the wrong choice, so specialise in the implementation and support of finance systems in general (SQL based primarily) and especially complex OLAP databases (IBM TM1/COGNOS is the biggest of these) and building the modelling for financial consolidation of group accounts and forecasting. particularly in the Financial Services sector, but will work for just about anyone who can afford my day rate. I'm divorced from the aforementioned school sweetheart, with whom I have two wonderful children, Holly (6) and James (5). Holly is a precocious princess. James is autistic and the happiest child I've ever met. I'm engaged to a wonderful woman I met a few years back, who is also an accountant. We are expecting our first baby together next March, with a wedding in August. Nothing like a bit of pressure then! In my spare time I love to read (surely not a surprise to this list!), play a mediocre game of chess, enjoy cooking. like to travel and have an interest in English history, particularly the War of the Roses... I think that covers everything.... Paul From: Tim Hickey <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 1 November 2011, 16:14 Subject: New "get to know you" question Who is everyone? For instance: age, location, job, family, outside interests? I am 30 years old, from Chicago, Illinois, United States. I am an outside sales person to restaurants. I have been married for almost 5 years to my wife, Carmen. She is an occupational therapist focusing on hands. We have no kids, but just began trying. I play volleyball as much as possible, which is 4-6 nights per week (until we have kids). I am an avid Bulls, Bears, Cubs, and Blackhawks fan.
