h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am a 26 yr. old male coming from a country with a lot of sheep. (Norway) I work in the web business. (Consulting.) I am hopelessly romantic some times. (And even married) I am oldes of three, and I have two younger sisters. How about that!

Thanks dude! It's always nice to know that you're not alone in the world with a certain mindset. Though some of the similarity of the other stuff is scary! Do you think that perhaps, because we have two sisters, that this has influenced our behaviour to be the romantic type?

Do you actually like working in the web business? Cause apart from the money, the lifestyle sucks, cause you're looking at computer screens all day. I know some Finnish dudes who say that in the middle of the winter that's about all there is to dao anyway.

Congratulations on finding a soulmate. It's hard work these days

I would have thought it'd be too cold in Norway for there to be too many sheep, though I hear it's a beautiful place and that your west coast looks a lot like the west coast of New Zealand. I'd quite like to come over and check it out at some stage, I know someone there who spent a year in New Zealand and they love to party, so my impression of Norwegian people is pretty cool thus far...

Having two sisters may do a lot to ones way with women. I think being their older brother have thaught me much about understanding women.

When it comes to the web business, I agree with you, the lifestyle often sucks, and there is a widespread culture of working constantly and having no life beside. But luckily, I work in consulting, and spend a lot of time in boardrooms and CEO offices, working on customer's strategies. I used to do some HTML and JavaScript work earlier, but I quit, because I got tired of seeing my reflection in the screen all the time. Beeing creative enough in consulting, demands that you have a little fun from time to time, so the lifestyle gets more varied. Sort of...

If you were to change careers, what would you do?

Norway is cold, but during summertime, it is pretty hot, and our sheep run around in the mountains. Only problem is that wolves and bears tend to eat quite a few. But they do have a lot of beautiful landscape to look at before the predators come to eat them, so I believe our sheep are quite happy during summertime. In the winter, though, we keep them inside.

If you ever want to come and have a look at Norway, look me up! I have spare rooms and a few bottles inside a closet in our living room!

Right on, I think they learned a lot about men from me, as I learned about women from then. Though at what age did you start getting on with your sisters, because mine were horrible up until the age of about 16. Once they reach an age where they can start talking intelligently, they become different creatures all together.

Your career at the moment seems to be a bit ahead of me at the moment, I've just started to taste my first project management experience, and anything that can get me more into the creative side and away from the technical, I think I'll be happier with. Now I know the mechanics of how it all works, it should make the transition a little easier.

I think either creatives in technology, or I've always been interested in the health industry... though no experience. There's a health management course I was thinking of doing if I return to NZ.

I'll be sure to look you up if I get to Norway, the same courtesy applies to you if you come to London, I'll be sure to show you a good time here, because the nightlife here is superb.
