Four hours of Physics every day. .5 hours of learning, 1 - 1.5 hours of videos, 1 hour of random information (my teacher's old city, old jobs, college days, how much a teacher gets paid), Rest of time talking and hanging out

i sit in a little office from 8am-5pm mon-fri. i sit in front of a computer the whole time. i sit and do graphic engineering (CAD), advertizing graphics (photoshop), and some webdesign (side work too). i sit and hate it. i sit and think I need a career change. i sit and think that I would be much more fun to build custom import cars for a living. i sit and think about getting a loan so I can fullfill my dream of owning my own club or indepentant film theater. o well. back to work i go.

Sometimes I go to the office, sometimes I stay at home that depends on what amount of work I’m required to do. Ow and I’m in commercial business BTW. Banners and posters that sort of thing. Sometimes I help my friends/colleagues with site design (for a payment of course). Its rather flexible job so I’m not required to sit in the office whole day and that’s why I like it.

I go to high school and I'm moving on to my last year. I also have 2 part-time jobs. One is at a grocery store working in the produce department and the other is at my cabin cutting, piling, and selling wood. Then after high school I'm going to college to become a Canadian conservation officer. Yay.

Gas station! Awesome! I did that my freshman year in college and to this day it was the best (most fun) job I ever had. No boss around, worked 3pm-11pm shift and pounded beers and got high in the car wash after dark. Ahhhh, the good ol days.

I've heard working at a gas station is like having sex: you just pump until full.

I get up between 9AM and 1PM everyday, turn my PC on, hope there's someone to talk to. I spend the rest of the day trying my best to go someplace else than home, cause it sucks sitting around all day. When fall college starts up, I'm going. Till then, sit and hope I get to go someplace.

Fun!

Well, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't defend the place in court. I research parts of the case and get together legal precedants, that kind of thing.

I get to work around 11:30, open up I.E. and go to action trip, I then hit refresh a million times until the morning post arrives, unless it has arrived already, in which case I browse the forums and comments looking for somewhere to post. Then, after I have posted, I sit hitting the refresh button waiting for someone else to reply. Then, when I get really really bored, and its getting kinda late in the day, I decide to go home.

Thats what I do from Monday to Friday, then on the Weekend, I sit infront of my PC trying to GM more skills in Ultima Online, while trying to get enough gold to customise my house.

That is the basic run down of my life since the begining of this year...

Pretty much, I'm stopping work here at the end of the year, and going to go do a electronic engineering degree, hopefully that will change things.

agreed dude. I fucking HATE computers now unless I am playing games. There are baely any decent games out there too. I end up playing all my old games from like 2-3 years ago. I upgraded my pc about 4 months ago for nothing, most of the games I play you can run on a 1.4gHz machine and a GeForce2. Waste of money!

whaooo, a big ol spider just crawled down the wall and is hiding behind my scanner.

I work from 10pm to 7am, night shift, as a painter in a factory. All I do is stand in a large booth with another painter for 2 1/2 hours a night, air conditioned room (hey, that's BIG where I work), and paint steel and aluminum parts as they slowly pass by us on a conveyer. We use powder paint that gets electronically charged to the conveyer, so it sticks. When I'm not painting parts to refridgeration units (semi truck units), I'm out busting my ass to get all the parts up in the system. A very physical job. White or black. One or the other is what I'm covered in when I get home after a nights work. When I take a shower, the water is so dirty, it's gross. Dirty job yeah, but pays very nice. Not something I planned on doing in life, but something for now.

I'm supposed to maintain the lan at a school, but ever since I installed this program called GoBack on all the computers, not a single one has had a problem, good in one way, just makes my job pointless. One day they gonna catch on, but hopefully by then I will be gone.

I'm currently doing school and am going to the same school as Kain. I'm almost in all of his classes. I've only got one more year after this one, and then I might go to Uni, but, I'll have to see if I get the scholarship for CISCO Networking. I did have a job, but, I stopped doing it. I used to sell [illegal] vcd's and dvd's at markets, but it got too risky so I stopped.

I play between 6-7 hours of gaming a day if I don't have any band stuff on, or if I can be bothered.
