Sounds boring, but basically the majority of the post you get through the door was dealt with by someone like me. Have a few large contracts for companies like EDF, Lloyds, Barclays, Census etc. So alot of financial work and general direct mail junk.

I'm thinking of doing Computer Science at Coventry Uni next year, what are you views on the Uni and the IT teachers? Not going to ask about the actual IT rooms as I know they've just got brand new Engineering and Computing building.

The uni I'd rate fairly highly, though it's a bit difficult to say really since I haven't attended other universities to compare it with (except for a lot of time spent at Oxford Brookes since my mum's a lecturer. I'd rate the two unis equally). I haven't had any problems, at least, and my first year was fairly enjoyable. The IT teachers are excellent (well, most of them... I did have one last year who, when we handed in the anonymous feedback forms, she not only read through them but binned the ones that said anything negative about her, which was most of them. She's not currently employed.), great to know and very friendly.
The new building is amazing. Looks great, both inside and out. Electric windows, electric monitor stands (you hold the button down and the monitors lower into the table!), each room has an individual thermostat. And awesome for me, less than five minutes from my new house.

Awesome! Was down there on Friday / Saturday, my mate wanted someone to go down with (he's going into his 2nd year). He showed me round the city and it looked good! He's also only a 5 minute walk away from the Uni. I'm going down for an open day on either the 27th October or 10th November so hopefully I'll be impressed.

It's awesome. If you know who Terry Richards is, he gave me and a coursemate a quick tour of the whole building, including the staff-only section and some of the conference rooms. They're cool.

One could say a typical IT geek, who need to do whatever is needed out there. I genuinely hate setting up frikking printers and lame users who think IE6 and XP is everything you need! Also hate old bespoke system that only work with a specific hardware/software and support doesn't exist since 1876!
To give you an example ... check this out IBM system with 8x 4.5Gb harddrives.. yay, welcome back 90s
