Post READ: What do you do for Work?

Hey everyone, what do you guys do for work.. Do you work at home, do you work in a bike shop, do you work at Burger King?!

I was wondering when someone would ask.
Well, I own a luxury yacht. Not like the one Eddie Irvine has, not a chance. Most of the time I cruise around following the summer sun, but I'm saving for my trip to Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice along with my Wiccan brethren.
So you see, I don't have some fancy-schmancy office job, but hey, at least I'm happy.

You lucky pig Vo2, I work in a small cubicle, 1.5mx1.5m. I start work at 06:15 - 20:00 Monday - Friday and Saturday 07:00 - 15:00. Usually I'm on standby on Sundays. I cycle to work and back because I don't have parking space in the office block.

Damn, and here I am worrying what the weather is going to be like at my next stop over, which will be the Canary Islands, by the way.
Be strong, ewep.

I worked for IBM as a Systems Management Professional up until my layoff and am seriously considering returning to teaching Chemistry, General Science and perhaps French and Health Science at the high school level for President Bush's No Child Left Behind program. I'm also a D.C. but don't care to engage again in running a practice for it's too much a marketing racket.
