I'm a night shift RN (7P-7A, 3-4 days a week)

My caching is done whenever I find myself off work & awake, which is not often enough. My sleeping habits are the inspiration for my "dazed" board name.

I'm the dude what makes them durn computers talk to each other at the place where I work. I cache mostly on the weekends, but I've been known to take off in the middle of the week just for the heck of it & snag a bunch of caches. It's rare that I'll be found caching before work, but after work is fair game.

September 29, 2003

Customer service for a major wireless provider. I used to cache a lot more than I do now since I had Wed and Thursday as my "weekend". Now I pretty much grab a couple after work (2:30p) if I get the chance. My weekends have been pretty busy with other engagements since I have a normal persons schedule now.

I really only cache when I travel for work, otherwise my time is spent with soccer games/practice, baseball games/practice, dance lessons (not me, it's my daughters), cub scouts, bow hunting, deer/turkey hunting, fishing, church and of course the never ending list of honey-do's.

For occupation, my answer remains the same since I posted here in the middle of the 11 page thread on this same subject in March. I think we all have a curiosity to know what some of these other forum community members do in their real lives. It helps to personalize someone better than an avatar. Although I do have a pet hamster.

As for caching, any time is fine by me. Night caching, snow caching, rainstorm caching, summer heat caching, desert caching, mountain caching... I'm there. The majority of my finds are on weekends but I try to nip one or two off the list during the week by heading out of the office early one day.

I sometimes go caching before work, at lunchtime, after work, and occasionally night. I have been known to suddenly develop an illness on pretty days and call in sick...

I think I'm in that 11 page thread too, if not I'm in the other two somewhere.

I am a used house salesperson, so I make my own hours, and go caching whenever I can or feel like it. It used to be whenever I could get someone to go with me but now I go alone, or, now I also have geocaching buddies I've met through here who are as obsessed as I am. Life is good.

But may I warn those who are just getting here, geocaching is very distracting! I have to keep the focus! I took a lot of time off this summer and I can feel it now, so now I have to get busy.

I’m a federal security specialist working as a civilian for the US Army Chemical Materials Agency. I specialize in physical security of WMDs and anti-terrorism (AT). I’ve been real busy since 9/11 needless to say. I recently switched jobs and now focus on mainly the security management of WMDs. No longer having the installation AT mission has allowed me to spend more time with my family who I’ve seen only in passing for the past two years. I try to squeeze in geocaching when I can. My eldest daughter and I placed the Standing LaGarde cache together and enjoy watching the activity it generates.

Vice-President in charge of marketing for a gourmet food company by day. Still do set design for stage productions whenever one of the guys from the old days calls and promises me a stack of money.

Cache all the time, day night rain shine. Couldn't sleep the other night so I got up at 2am and drove 26 miles one way to walk in for a cache grabbed it and then drove home, slept like a baby after that. I also always build one or two extra days into business trips to cache, which is why my finds are all over the place.

Well, I am in the process of moving careers. I currently sit in a classroom teaching web design, and get to cache in the afternoons if there is still light, or on the weekends.

I will be working soon for a financial services company, and doing more client consulting type work, teaching people how to meet their financial goals. Even though, I will probably be working more hours, I will be driving around to meet people on their schedule. So, that means if I have a 4PM appointment, at 3PM, I will be caching. Whoo-hoo. Now, if I get clients that live in places I want to cache, I can write the whole trip off. Oh, yeah!
