Poll: What do you all do (for a living)?

Pretender

What keeps you busy during the day and puts food on the table? Do you have geek jobs (working w/computers) as membership to the forum would imply? Do you do network administrating for a bunch of brats? Or even stranger, do you not work with a computer at all?


Oh, and there is no poll.
 
Bob Slydell: If you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door--that way Lumberg can't see me, heh--after that I sorta space out for an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
 
Peter Gibbons: You see Bob, it's a problem of motivation all right? If I work my butt off and Initech ships a few units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation?

That's probably not entirely accurate, but it got me cracking up about the movie at least.
 
MMPS Engineering,

where MMPS = "Managed Modem Port Services" and "Services" = we wholesale modem ports and IP transit/transport to large, medium, and small ISP's. Maybe you're dialed up now on one of my ports, if you still dial up. Kind of obscure but still entertaining after 1 year.
 
Peter Gibbons: I don't like my job and I don't think I'll go anymore.
Joanna: You're just not gonna go?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Joanna: Won't you get fired?
Peter Gibbons: I don't know. But I really don't like it and, uh, I'm not gonna go.
Joanna: So you're gonna quit?
Peter Gibbons: Uh-uh. Not really. I'm just gonna stop going.
Joanna: When did you decide all that?
Peter Gibbons: About an hour ago.
Joanna: So you're going to get another job?
Peter Gibbons: I don't think I'll like another job.
Joanna: Well what are you going to do about money? Bills?
Peter Gibbons: You know I never really liked paying bills, I don't think I'm going to do that either.


That's the best part.

Oh, and I'm a student (comp engineering) and I work part time at the Visitor's Information Booth. Woohoo!
 
Im taking a year off work. I may not go back actually now that I think of it. I have a few kids and my dh to keep me busy. Who could ask for anything more???
