wepsi

me

I’m a woman, a bit over 40 years old, living in Helsinki, Finland with my boyfriend. I went to school in Espoo, and then I moved to Jyväskylä to study information systems science. That resulted in a degree of Master’s in Economics.
Work brought me back to Helsinki. I spent a short time as a social media manager at a small company in the mobile industry before taking charge of social media in a large company’s communications department. As various website and communications projects came my way, I started my own business. I also spent a few years working in the non-profit sector. These days, I develop personal assistance services at Avustajaklinikka and serve as executive director of Hengitystuki ry.
Social media and communications take up a large part of my time. Beyond that, I travel, read, write and watch far too much television. I still play computer games, too. My long-term partner is along for the ride.
I’ve also held various positions of responsibility in disability organisations, including roles in a couple of local member associations of the Finnish Neuromuscular Disorders Association and on its national board, as well as in Kynnys ry. For a few years, I was also involved in the Student Union of the University of Jyväskylä. My most recent roles have been with SMA Finland, Hengitystuki ry, Heta-liitto and the Finnish Disability Forum.

Even though I sit in an electric wheelchair, I haven’t let it ruin my life. I travel and do everything “other” people do as well.

If you want to know something, just ask. I won’t bite.

The best way to reach me is by e-mail, wepsi@wepsi.com. You can also find me in Facebook, Bluesky and LinkedIn. IRC is abandoned for now, but now you can find me in Discord.

My sister started calling me wepsi when I was small. Probably because my toydog was called Vipsi. When I started using IRC (chatting online), I had to choose a name and I didn’t want to use my own. I couldn’t think of anything else except wepsi, so thought I’ll change it later. That was in 1997, and I havenät come up iwth a better name
The original wepsi-can was design by a friend in 1998. The new version by me in 2012. Real world version is from 2014.

Silly stories about me

Some of my online friends have come up with weird stories about me.

Before her relocation, wepsi was a bN asset placed at the embassy in Malta. On the night of the 7th, she intercepted a cable from our common enemy Lord Chassley indicating a plot to steal the archduke’s bearer bonds.
Regrettably, she had been seduced by a waiter during her dinner that night at the chateau chapeau d’âne and so was profoundly intoxicated with lust and Absinthe by the time the car pulled up to the depository and its trunk opened to reveal a midget with a broadsword.
The midget, who was later identified as a retired jockey apparently talked into the caper after several shots of Laudanum, managed to snatch the bonds and the word on the street is that he was last seen passing the financials off to a vampire circus midget selling hot dogs on Seventh Avenue.
