2/3rds of my workday is from a home office. The other 1/3 is spent at my desk at the company offices working on various projects.

 

I have a very flexible schedule (the neighbors all think I'm retired) so it's easy to make time for caching. icon_biggrin.gif


 

Hey, small world... a workmate (Erol) painted a cover for one of your books a couple of months ago.

You know Erol, eh? Very cool. I'm a huge fan of his work. Getting him to do one of our covers really had me dancing in the halls. icon_smile.gif Tell 'em I said "Hey!"

I work in Geographic Information Systems for a large local government. The people are great and the work is varied enough to stay interesting.

 

I'm working on getting my coworkers to join me in my caching addiction. So far I've recruited one person who has joined GC.com - my boss, evilwoman - and others who go along on cache hunt but aren't joiners, not yet anyway.

Blissfully Rretired and free to cache:

From careers as: Entomologist, full time stay home Mom, part-time income tax consultant.

Spouse and sometimes cache-hunt helper is a retired entomologist who is still submitting grant proposals to finance Black Fly research.

He says Hey back. I'm glad we talked about this, I knew he and the owner of my company go way back with TSR but I had no idea that Erol did the original cover for Deities and Demigods... geeze I'm surrounded by living history!
