I started the job in 2002 doing basic data entry[1] into a terminal... Last 2 weeks I got promoted to the Main Projects team at CPW[2].

For the past year and a half.. maybe more i cant be sure, I've been working as Band 1 Projects which was one way of saying I wasnt affiliated to any department perse. I just went round looking out each departments processes and formulate ways of optimising it mostly by automation.

Now in that I'm in the Main Projects team I, sadly, have to get everything approved my the department manager before i even look at it. And anything i work on has to be signed off.

Gone are the days when i could get a request for a quick script at 10 in the morning and have a working prototype by lunch.

It was kindda sad seeing all my Work In Progress (WIP) getting ported over and someone that seemingly doesnt know much about the projects assign priorities and deadlines to them.

Anyway that was 2 weeks ago and I'm happy to say I've closed off 6 of the 8 WIP and got my first assigned project on the new team done with 3 more added.

Dude hasnt lost his productive touch y'see. Anyways... watch out Charles Dunstone here i come.
