What do you do (when not posting)?

[MirrorInTheSky]

I get the distinct feeling that some of you have turned posting on the Ledge into your career. Others, like myself, probably have a job only to ignore the actual work component and instead continue posting on the board. In any event (and I really hope I'm not repeating a previous thread), I'm curious as to what everyone here on the board does to earn a living and pay for all of those concerts we've been attending. I'll go first....

I've been working at the Texas Capitol since I was a freshman in college. I didn't have a car, and the Capitol was walking distance from the dorm, so I got a job as a messenger. Then I interned for a state senator for my remaining three years, and after a post-graduating backpacking trip through Eruope two years ago, I came back to work full-time for the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services. After this biennial legislative session, which begins next week and ends in May, I hope to attend grad school to get a masters in public policy and eventually go on to garner world peace. Oh, and I'm single.

I'm a full-time graduate student, so I'm on winter break right now. Classes start again next week, so I probably won't be on here as much. (Or at least I shouldn't be.)

I graduate in May, though, so I'm also looking for a job. In fact, I'm sending in a resume today.

I'm a Junior in High School. And I'm in Study Hall right now. Woot.

I'm a cog (albeit an important one) in a corporate machine that sells watered-down sex, drugs, and rock and roll in the form of plastic to today's youth.

Blah blah boring jobcakes.

Well, I have no school today, so I have a lot of time on my hands. Moreso than ususal.

I'm a junior in high school though.

I'm an undergrad student on my winter break like Krista. I've been able to spend an insane amount of time on here over the break because I have no schoolwork and no job! But classes start again soon for me as well, and I'm going to miss being on here constantly. This place has made my break so fun!

I am a reporter/progam host. I work at a public radio station (an NPR member station) - and by day I'm a news reporter, I go out and cover stuff or I do phoners...and then at 4pm - I local host All Things Considered - I fill breaks and do two newscasts per hour - the newscasts aren't too long though - 2.5 -3 minutes long...

So when I'm not out covering stories I am usually sitting at my computer - and therefore check into the Ledge constantly while putting off work..such as right now when I should be pulling soundbytes and writing a story on consumer confidence....BUT the vending machine guy just got here and announced that our coffee machine would be free all day!!!! Woo hoo....it's horrid stuff - but it's free
