My local news did a story last night about a successful business in the
West Midlands (I know a successful business here, amazing) who perform
various computer-modelled simulations for a variety of companies.
In the interview the head honcho said that they're having fun coping with
the demand due to lack of staff. Apparently they need people with a
mathematical background who are also creative, which he declared a rare
combination.
Andrew are you reading this? It's
http://www.paragonsimulation.com/live/news/news8.asp based in Halesowen. I
know it's a distance, but you're already doing the MK-Coventry run and
this isn't much more; I'm gotta say I'm vaguely looking at this myself.

I actually did some Excel spreadsheet modelling work for this company about 8
years. I found the work pretty tough going, as my Maths isn't great (as a
programmer I'm better at logic stuff!)
I'm glad to hear the company is doing well.
I would be interested to hear anymore about the company as they're not from me
(I work in Birmingham).
Bye for now
Reuben

My maths skills good be better, but this is why I thought of Andrew who
typically seems to have become Invisible today ;-)

Well it was just the local news report. They mentioned simulation of
hospitals, warehouse deliveries, call-centres, and something about the
wings on an Airbus; they couldn't go into specifics due to company
confidentiality.
Oh and they had table football and an arcade machine.

If I was still living in the UK (or had some reason to want to go back) then
I think I would probably apply here - it looks like just the sort of stuff I
enjoy doing. Bookmarked for future reference ;-)
BTW, Andy, if you do apply, tell them you're earning double what you
actually earn!

Oh the irony of that. Looking at the timestamp on this message, at the
moment you posted it, I was in Stewart House on the corner of Russell
Square talking to a man about how to improve my job searching...
(Yes, I walked past the Jack Horner on the way. I did think about
meantioning it on here - but I figured nobody would be around at that
time of day anyway.)

I don't have Stephen's number either. Actually, the only number I have
is for Phil...
OOC, would you actually have been around between noon and 2?
