Work, yes. Procrastination, yes. Work done without procrastination, rarely. Does that help?

And scince college doesn't start up again until Thursday, I have a lot of free time.



Dang...you must be either independently wealthy...or living with your folks!
LOL!
I think the idea is to find a job that you like.
And all jobs aren't eight hours a day, five days a week. And they all don't last 30 years.

Very true, Tallgrrl. I've jumped from job to job over the years. Mostly clerical work for various places, both profit and not-for-profit. I must say the most interesting place I've worked, though, is my job that just ended before I started my student teaching. I worked in the Health Services dept. of a juvenile prison for three years.

I'm a student. I can't believe how much free time I have. I'm taking nineteen hours, maybe twenty.

So that's bound to change.

Yes, 3 teenagers, although only 2 remain at home (both boys ). The youngest (mine) is going to be 15 next month. As I'm 35, that would make me...that's right! A very stupid 19 year old! LOL.

My job really requires very little in the way of my attention. I am a marketing director and have a staff that takes care of 90% of the busy work. I get to go to the stuffy meetings w/ the old guys for an hour every morning, then it is off to my office to shuffle paperwork and sign things. I do have to go over proposals and things of that nature, but I have it down to a science, so I have quite a bit of time for net surfing.

Not sure I can find a job I'd like with my qualifications (or lack thereof). I think it'd be cool to be a lawyer, or the CEO of some business, or a teacher - but think you need more than a diploma for them kinda jobs.
