Do any of us actually work???

Wisconsin

It seems like any time you want to go on the boards, you will see posts from the same people. We either don't work, or have very good jobs where we can be on the computer all day or night. I did include myself in this post . I am lucky or unfortunate that this time of year is slow for me and I have lots of time on my hands, but it averages out the 100 hour weeks in the busy times.

I am working right now I do tech support, I just make sure people reboot a lot

ccrdragon

I keep an internet connection open the entire time that I am at work (like now ), so it is easy to post any time that I want to. As long as I get my work done (and stay off the porn sites), my boss doesn't care!

LanLord

I use a computer for about 120% of my job. In otherwords, all day long. Not too difficult to get out to the web every now and then.

SarasotaFrank

I have a home based consultancy, which gives me a very flexible schedule.

It's nice for a while, but after a few years, you kind of never stop working. I'm considering opening an office outside my home again.

coinguy1

I'm on the computer virtually all day (and part of the night), anyway - this works out fine for me.

agentjim007

Ya damnit, I got a job and start my shift in 29 minutes. My day starts when I leave my house and ends when I return...travel time included. You gotta love that deal.

BlueCole

The wifey and i own our own business, so it's flexible-- As long as we don't p.o. our clients. I'm on the computer at our office a bit, when i'm here. Otherwise, i'm on the road, which is why i only post (alot) two days a week.

Hey Mark (coinguy 1) Are you ready for your 1000th post ?

I'm a computer programmer so I'm always near a computer with a fast linkup. And I'm a very fast typist. So I will pop in for a minute and then type a message or two and then keep working. Right now I'm working on developing a class structure to manage an assessment (test, display, response, feedback) according to the QTI XML specification. It's uses visitor, composition, and strategy patterns in its design. In between compiles or when I'm thinking about an issue, I'll head on for a minute for a change of pace. When I don't post much during the day, it means i'm really focusing on an issue or in the code zone.

I am the MAYTAG repairman ...i have a lot of free time

coinguy1

Stewart, I've given serious thought to stopping after post # 999 (this one). What do you think? Just so you know, I don't promise to take your advice.

Ah yes, the MIS/IT universal solution, did you try re-booting?

I'm a tenured professor and I have heard rumors about something called "wurk" ... or was that "work"?

P.S. to Mark Fields: If you stop posting, you make many people disappointed.

ritchiewan

I spend all day at a computer of some type doing something silly. Anything from playing Small Ball to just flat out wasting time (monitoring...lol). Me and the team putting in a new data center We maintain the servers and applications for a comercial print company.

barney

Good question!

I'm a part-time graduate music student student on disability, so this gives me something to do while I'm working on "getting better."

I did my time with a major oil company(35 yrs.+) and retired in 1997. I do have a vague memory of work. lol

Burning up the last of my vacation but I do have internet access at work.

Buy and sell real estate so I'm on most of the day checking MLS lists..

meos1

I am a system engineer (UNIX, Microsoft, Clustering) specializing in High Availability! I try to keep my clients from having to reboot. So I am continually on a computer somewhere! Most of my day consist of appeasing the whims of IBM management and keep the customer happy. Really glad to be employed even if it keeps me from spending all day talking coins!

Dan, MCSE, MCT..Blah, Blah, blah

jbsteven

I own a passport and visa expediting company that has got to the point of running itself so I don't have to do much but pay the bills and count MY money.

32 years old and this is the life being the boss.

HEY WE DONT ALLOW THOSE 4 LETTER WORDS ON THIS SITE . (yes I am at (that word) now

coinrookie

Construction slows down this time of year and bad weather is also a factor. I like it though. Gives me a break after those 60 hour spring and summer weeks.

Russ

The only time I leave my computer is once a month to go pick up my welfare check.

I work in fact i am at it right now. I work at networking and Video over IP. However i may be leaving this stressful Industry shortly as i have had enough 28 years, and it's a young man and womans job nowadays. To much stress.
I am thinking about a nice nitewatchmans job or something easy. What the heck i paid my dues i am entitled to kick back no?

coppercoins

Every other evening at work I sit and do literally nothing....then every other night I am slammed with work. It's sort of a pair of people and we switch off the hard job every other day. When I'm doing the easy part, I spend all evening posting on boards, etc. Nice job, considering the pay is good, the benefits are decent, and we have a web server sitting ten feet from us!

CLASSICS

work is a four letter word i set my own hours......hey, coin is a four letter word i like that one better

BigE

Sometimes I get hooked on the boards and I will ingnore a customer. -----------BigE

LucyBop

Excuse me, but what exactly is work?

Spinynorman

I think it's something that I probably should be doing right now...

Geoman

I may receive some flack for this, but my wife works while I sit at home. Pretty rough, I know.

At least it allows me to sit and surf the internet all day long for coins. Gotta love those cable modems.

I hope you at least do the dishes every now and then.

Geoman,

Does your wife have a single working sister with low standards?

vam44

I`m devoting the first half of my life to retirement, when I reach 50 I will go to work, if there is still such a thing.

cypher

LOL listen to all you. Actually haha...I'm all over IT in our company going from Networking to Coding to anything else. On top of all that, working in Television Production the past 8 years, all I do is chat on AIM, jump on the boards, ebay, and the occasional porn...lol... As long as I get my work done also whenever I can, it doesn't matter. And when I don't even feel like doing work, I just close my office door. Hehe And it also helps being the boss too.

Jake
(MCP - but I'm still in television haha)

RGL

Do I work? How else do I pay for these pieces of plastic entombing undergraded coins? Let's see ... I only worked 44 hours this week and that was with Monday off! Check the bylines tomorrow on the front page of The Columbus Dispatch and remember, journalists do it daily! And, by the way, Russ, I am tired of subsidizing your check. Get a job grading AHs at PCGS, at least.

<< <i>Excuse me, but what exactly is work? >>

.........what is work? looking for full bell lines

LucyBop

Yeah, I look for FBL's, FSB's, FS's, DCAM's, and I run my website, I travel all around the country collecting 50s music and I drink Margaritas. I also attend the major Comic Book conventions in San Diego, I goto Mexico for Tequila runs...Thats my job!

Libertad

Geez, I didn't know there was such a minority of working stiffs, though I have murmured 'these folks have too much spare time' when reading the posts at times!

I know I'm old, but often had to wonder -

How many are in independent living situations with computer access at the residences?

MrKelso

<< <i>I may receive some flack for this, but my wife works while I sit at home. Pretty rough, I know.

Every man should have one of those. (cable modems that is)

fcloud

I'm a production manager, and the company I work for doesn't allow the computer for use other than work. So I only post when I am at home (evenings, weekends, and vacations). Only 18 years before I can retire. What a drag.

bigbadchad777

I am a farmer. My family and I own 2200 acres in KY & TN. Got a bunch of cows, corn & tobacco. I'm ready for Spring!!!

paulheep

Work? Isn'that what employees are for?

Twowood

Sounds like about 30% retired and the rest are supporting us retirees!
I'm logged on to a few boards that I visit regularly between lawn cutting and golf. Twowood

itsnotjustme

I work about 70 hours a week as an Air Force member. A typical week has

M-F 12 hour days
Sat/Sun 4-6 hours one day or the other to "catch up"
Also each average 1-2 mandatory evening events, 2-4 hours each

I do not touch the boards from work

Luckily my last assignment was not this demanding...

Zerbe

Lately, hunting down low pop classic coins, ( Are there any left? ). Luckily, I am an old man with a rich young wife.
