LOL!

I wanted to be a Lumberjack - at least according to the careers advice I got when I was a student!  In fact I 
always wanted to be an Inventor, but it turns out there isn't any such job unless you're Uncle Sir Clive, 
Trevor Baylis or James Dyson.  But at least as a computer person I could invent solutions to problems, and I 
always design my systems as if they were machines, even if they are software-only.
