Status: offline 		I have three jobs/projects (including AE) in addition to my day job - I think I average 100-110 hours of "work" per week - but then I guess I still don't work all the time (leaves 58 to 68 hours for sleep, eat, shower, etc.) So some of us work a little bit!

You are over-qualified

I have several rigs running here and don't really distinguish between work and leisure time. Can do my job while playing a game and still earn my livings.

Status: offline 		I was a professional warrior from the time I graduated from college.(I really wanted to BE "James Bond" from the time I was in high school)..
Real life and a few years of combat cured me of that.(LOL)..
Remained active duty in harms way with the local constabulary, just about every assignment possible in a big city, but nothing is more common than the divorce rate, so, I stayed single till I was over 40.

Now, having been married to my soul-mate for a number of years, I find it easy to relax and finally put humor in my life, and have stopped being so violent on reaction to others stupidity.

I still work full time but I have no intention to retire, ever.

I come here to relax and learn.

Apart from being offensive as a word the concept is entirely repugnant to any true devotee of exploring history through games. Work, like life, has a annoying habit of getting in the way of the really good and important things in life. Like good Canadian beer, hockey and devastating victories over your PBEM opponents.

Status: offline 		I gave up work and became a college professor six years ago. Work just took up too much of my time. I might go back to it some day if it weren't so damn time consuming. I keep looking for work that requires not time committment, but to no avail. They all seem to want me to do something for my pay. So I spend my waiting and waiting with all of you.

Our wives must know each other. And my mother. My dad worked full time until he was 75 ( he is now 80 ). And, with my mother's prompting , part of his retire package contains a clause that he keeps an office with them as long as he wants. So he still goes into to the office most days from around 8:30 untill noon or so. Talks to a few of his old customers, talks to a few of the senior execs, and reads the Wall Street Journal. My mom says that if he wasn't out of the house for 4 hours a day she might kill him. As they have been married for 55 years I THINK she is joking.

I believe he was referring to the picture of Charlie Chaplin.

My dad worked till the day he died, literally. I'm really hoping to not do the same.

Status: offline 		I got off work today at about half past noon, and then I ran over quite a bit. So, I don't work the rest of today, unless I get a bad telephone call. But, I begin again tomorrow to get ready for the next work day, which just about takes all week.

Looks more like a hobby to me. (Can't be work if you do it in bare feet!). Port Townsend...would that be the one in Washington state?
