+Howie57 Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Im new to caching and i've been looking around the site at all the different people and was wondering , although we all love to cache we have to do something as far as work to feed our habit. What do you do for a living? Of course if your a stay at home person that's cool to just let me/us know what you do? I'm a board tech, i sit in a dark room with one other guy (nothing funny going on either) and we run a chemical plant. Been here 28 years......... now how about you..... Quote Link to comment

+flask Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 apparently i'm in the minority here. i am regularly employed as a music teacher. sporadically employed as a storyteller. periodically employed to score mathematics portfolios. the state pays me to do this, even though i know little bout mathematics. i'm a whiz with a scoring rubric however, so it works out. this probably explains a lot for you. it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six.
