I don't know, i use it as a stress relief. better than holding a harbinger of death between my fingers

my husband got my into this game!!

but its also really hard to go and do ANYthing outside when there is a windchill alert or a blizzard warning....much safer to just sit in front of my computer and watch my pixels move about. (much warmer too)

Ah, I do love those surveys. These surveys only include your job, not all the sideline work you do. No one will ever answer about that in a survey since

a) if your employer finds out, you could be in deep dooda

b) much of this kind of work is paid in cash, and many don't declare it.

This also excludes the "non compulsory" work which almost everyone does at home.

This is still likely to be a low estimate, however, as it includes the time of those who may have been absent for most of the reference week and does not reflect undeclared time worked on second jobs.

Also, I should clarify that I'm only including the private sector, since many public sector jobs have shorter working hours. As an example.

A)

Private Sector :
Senior IT Administrator : Average of 50+ hours a week, as well as "keep up" time for skills base, new products etc.

B)
Public Sector:
Senior IT Administrator (school): Average of 35 hours a week (95% "finish" early on Friday), "keep up" time included.

And I know that for a fact, since I was A consulting for many, many B's for five years.

(~interlude~ Ever had a LAN party with a bunch of friends playing GW while drinking? Try it sometime if you're of age lol. Bunch of gamers, much booze, good broadband connection. Do missions (THK And ring of fire are fun as hell) while doing drinking games. 1st one to die near the ether seal takes a shot!~ etc...sounds geeky but it's veery fun

~end interlude~)

I guess geography would play into lifestyle types though...

my guild does this every weekend over vent we have drinking games. (1 was every time a guildie said what or huh we took a drink lets just say this guy says what or huh ALOT we got way to drunk that night a few ppl passed out at the comp lol) (once you start to get sauced up start throwing rules in that makes no sense like everytime you go afk to take a drink you have to take another drink people get shitfaced this way).

first person to post a thread about ursan has to take a drink (now I think we are all going to get drunk) lol
