I hope my brother gets real big and i can just have fun on his tour bus. Please help me achieve my dream by going to http://dirtydon.dmusic.com I don't want to have to gte up early in the morning for class/work anymore.
Cryxan	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 3:52 AM I hate getting up early, too. Night shift rocks.

ABG	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 7:32 AM I'm unemployed. Being unemployed has its advantages and disadvantages. The biggest of each being Free time and No cashola Cashola is good for buy syntholas and sound cardolas. Ola!
kredd	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 9:42 AM webmaster for a private university. being salaried rocks cause i can take off anytime i want(having a cool boss doesn't hurt either). but its cool that work doesn't have to keep me from playing or practicing or anything that has to do with the band. plus i get paid to "play" on a computer all day
soundsseeker	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 9:43 AM Um..let me see I'm the secretary/bookkeeper for our family run electricbusiness(in which I am also a trained helper), I refinish furniture, provide support for the local search and rescue team and all of this is free gratis unless of course you count the free food (which I cook) and the roof over my head (which I clean).. Oh well so much for an interesting life.. just live with what you have.and enjoy it while you can.. it may be all you get. Free time I really dont have(of course you would'nt know that by the amount of time I spend here on DMusic listening to all this great music. No Cashola I have a lot of.
onewhodreams	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 10:53 AM I work with Elementary and Junior High kids with ADD in an afterschool/homework program. It can be fun and rewarding sometimes, but at least once a week (well, sometimes more) I wish I could quit and do music for a living instead.... ~onewhodreams~

Bill43	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 2:27 PM I'm a free-lance consultant. The pay is okay and my hours are mostly mine. The only negative thing is... if I don't work... I don't get paid.

Veracohr	Date: November 25, 2003 @ 5:56 PM Oh, how I feel about it. It's fine, but not what I want to do forever. It's a job, not a career choice.
KevBrock	Date: December 4, 2003 @ 10:38 PM I work in a garbage disposal, eeeeerrrr, I mean. LOL just kidding. I currently working two jobs. My first full time job is at an office building called Reserve America which I do web mail work there, I am a web mail agent there. My second job is just a small part time job at a local caffe, I'm a dishwasher. Even though I don't like dishwashing for hours that much, the only reason I work there part time is because family owns the resturaunt. My aunt owns the resturaunt and other family members work there. So that's the reason why I work there so I can work with family, which is fun.
GeneHilbert	Date: December 4, 2003 @ 10:49 PM Bill - I am lucky.... but remember the adage. "Be careful what you wish. For you might just get it."
Cygnusia	Date: December 7, 2003 @ 10:13 PM Well, I WAS a graphic artist. I'm currently unemployed because the company I worked for (never buy anything from National Pen. It's crap. ) moved all of my duties to California and left me swinging in the breeze. Right now I'm doing freelance, but it's not exactly dependable. The job hunt marches on...!

pog	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 12:18 AM Currently, I'm working as a contract electrial safety tester. For the last 16 years or so, my music career was too up and down, and all over the place, so I wanna save up for everything I need to do it all myself. I think I'm about 1/8th of the way to everything I want. Then I wanna build a studio... eventually, making that my job. And then I'll prolly get all eccentric, and start inventing things, and bring out a whole pog range. Amps, drumkits, the lot
johnnygnote	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 12:47 AM Sound & Lighting Engineer for a Casino owned by the White MOuntain Apache Tribe,(Very cool people to work for). Musician for over 40 years, right now I babysit them more than play. I'd rather be playing than watching others do it so I'm getting back into music and out of the musician babysitting buisness. Actually a lot of the bands I work with are quite nice people, there are always a few though (PreMadonna's, Ego Freaks and Back seat sound engineers) What realy gets me is when someone asks for more of somthing in thier monitor and before I can make the change they say "That's Good" . I also do computer work occasionaly. Pog I like your plan good luck with it
Gudnason	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 2:14 AM bum
Dizeazed	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 3:10 AM A bum!?... Glad to see that you saved up enough to buy a PC

Left my job, house, and all that shit to find love and happiness in Canada.. Actually I did.. but as a temporary resident they wont let me works so.. i guess im an.. Eh Unemployed Artist, musician, writer, computernerd .. Whatever I just hope i can figure this out before i die
invocati	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 6:35 PM I'm an electronic tech ... I fix arcade machines...It's fun!

pixelmasochist	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 8:44 PM I am a nightfill supervisor and it licks balls, I Hate My Shitty Fucking Job! But I have a son now and his needs overide anythng I may have wanted for myself, I just gotta look at him and I know it's worth it
pixelmasochist	Date: December 8, 2003 @ 8:46 PM On the flipside, it's intense physical work so I don't need to fork out for gym classes to keep in shape
Cryxan	Date: December 9, 2003 @ 6:22 AM Isn't that awesome about physical work? I used to complain about how much energy it took, but the big advantage is that you don't have to work out. I can pretty much eat whatever I want... I just decided to lose 10 pounds for our Xmas party this weekend, and it took me 4 days of little effort to accomplish this.
