Favourite Pastime If I had a grand piano, it would be playing that. Otherwise intense battles in Bad Company 2!
Favourite Movie Anything goes for me, just not such a big fan of romances.
Favourite Destination Haven’t really been on a holiday abroad or nationally. But there are many places I’d love to see.
A bit about Barrett My life would be a great example in describing the term “Going with the flow”.

I say this because even though I have had an interest in computers since my primary school days, it wasn't my career path of choice until recently.

Key points in my computing life are as follows:

- Being introduced to games such as F15, SimCity 2000, Iron Eagle and a really old Worms like game on my fathers company 386 laptop, All in black and white.

- Playing NFS:2SE at my friends house. Many hours of my life are lost to that game... something I do not regret :D

- Discovering WinPopup in Windows NT at school, my first IM experience! That’s about the only thing High school computer classes taught me.

I have had quite a vast range of work experiences, ranging from the manual laboured casual, to monotonous data capturing, to in-house as well as door to door sales, repair and support.

In between all that, I attempted studying a BSc in Electronic Engineering and to my disappointment, it was not for me.I hold my head up high in the hope of some day receiving an honorary one!

Following that I decided to study in the direction my interests were taking me. I enrolled with UNISA and began my Computer Science degree.Year of completion is pending.

Eventually, I decided to look for a career rather than just another job. An advert on Gumtree caught my eye, and since then, I have not looked back!

At AAT, I realise that there is quite a lot that I don’t know. I have also discovered Team Building on a large scale and subsequently found out that I cannot bowl. So far I’ve had good times, and there are many more to come !

Barrett has been with AAT since July 2008.
