    got a desk/outside job. I work for the State of Virginia but im outdoors almost everyday. really dig the leave time, flexible schedule, and stuff I get to see on the job but the pay is sh1t and I just don't want to be stuck in VB forever.

    Also Uber drive on the weekends for extra scratch. That is actually pretty fun but all the miles ive put on my car isn't.

    How do you guys land those work at home jobs? I want one haha.

    Now, you see, I made a commitment to "behave", and I am going to stick to it, despite your trolling effort. Which, btw, is okay, but it does need to be polished up a bit. It is way too direct; you need to finesse it a bit.
    Try again.

    Your troll mentor,

    I got to give you credit! You may want to consider volunteering a half day or two every so often. I would if I didn't have to work full time.

    I have a stay at home desk job, I go to the corporate office every Friday to see whats up, and say hi. I could set up anywhere and he would do direct deposit, but it's nice to get out for a day.

    I have a semi-flex schedule,and have clients in California as well as here on the east coast. So I can get out during the day for an hour or so,and then make it up at night. But I won't give up making money to play hookey on less than stellar days. It doesn't make cents.

    It helps very much to get a swim or a bike ride in if there is no waves. Being outside is organically calming and satisfying on many levels.

    Ha, now those are words to live by.

    I run a kitchen that's only open for dinner, so I'm fortunate that when we get waves here, its usually early morning which works perfectly to my schedule. As for the desk, I usually bribe smarter, more technologically advanced deskers with food to do most of my office sheet.

    Ha believe it or not I've had an offer for a Bj instead of a tip but she changed her mind at the last second (no pun intended) and almost participated in a threesome with these two chicks that I went to school with that I had picked up randomly but they were wasted and I'm not one to take advantage of people in that condition. Call me lame but I like to think I have morals

    I structured my life to have complete flexibility. I don't mind working hard, in fact I enjoy it. BUT when there is surf, I surf. It can be done, just takes a good plan, and fanatical execution.

    Execution is part of the fun. I think it was LB last week talking about "trying" really hard to score a session. It's so rewarding when it all comes together on the fickle EC
