Web Technology UK

Computer web designing. Using a search engine everyday to find the slightest bit of information. Discarding a hell of a lot of junk email everyday. Yeah, this was the life of a computer web designer.

Junk email was of the norm to get though. Most of the time you would need to fill in a form on the website you were trying to get on so that you could carry on your computer access to get into it. Most of the time i'd find these sites using a search engine or a referral from a friend, but if it was a serious job that needed a specific website, I'd get this from the boss of the office.

The amount of junk email that I would receive on a daily basis was ridiculous. On one day alone, I received 420 pieces of junk email. About 100 were from search engine referrals, and the rest was from sites that I had signed up to myself whilst browsing, just because I thought the offer was good. This was a rarity though, because usually I was so caught up in my job I didn't take notice of the form unless I had to.

I did enjoy my job though. I wouldn't change it for the world. Coming in at 8am and not leaving until 9pm may sound bad, but I really loved it. I usually worked from 8am - midday on a daily basis, then I would have a huge 2 hour lunch break, which I normally spent at the computer socializing to my internet friends, or sat in the cafeteria chatting to my real life friends. After my huge lunch break, I would casually stroll back to my workplace, work for about 3 more hours, then have another break, all voluntarily, of course. This break lasted about 20 minutes, which gave me enough time to have a toilet break and get something from the vending machine before I went back to my desk for 5 hours. These 5 hours were the slowest, but they still went faster than they would in many other jobs.

So yeah, I really love my job, and wouldn't dare change it.
