    From January-May, 95% work.

    From May-December, anywhere from 0-50% work.

    My shit varies. Pretty relaxed the past few days with the long weekend coming up but most times it's balls to the wall. I used to work pretty intense days and was really biting off more than I can chew. I've learned to pull back a little and focus on more pressing issues as they come.

    If I had my own cubicle........I'd be surfing the net, scratching my balls, taking naps, and sending out NBA newsletters.

    I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

    Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door--- that way Lumbergh can't see me--and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

    I need your jobs right now!

    At the moment I work 135% of a normal work day (9-6).
    thats atleast 2 to 3 hrs of extra hrs.

    Atleast the moneys right. Just when do I spend it, or rather when do I have the time to spend with the stuff I bought...OR RATHER...when am I able not just to pass out and go braindead in my freetime to balance out work...


    perhaps I should try the cokethread

    We don't teach Kafka, unfortunately, since I want to do The Metamorphosis. I haven't read The Castle or The Trial, but they're considered classics, of course. You probably can't go wrong with any of them, but I'm of no use to you.

    We teach, among other shorter works, Mark Mathabane's Kaffir Boy, All Quiet on the Western Front, Elie Weisel's Night, and Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist.

    Hey,

    I spend most of my day working (~ 90%-95%) because I have a shitload of work to do. Things are hectic especially when I'm teaching (Fall & Spring semesters; no summers). On top of teaching, I work on multiple research projects, serve on committees, and ad hoc review manuscripts submitted to various journals. I just made an editorial board (Journal of Management), so this will mean even more manuscript reviews this year. Summer is a little more laid back, since I'm able to focus primarily on research. Thus, I tend to work about 75%-80% of the workday, and I might even cut out early on ocasion on Fridays (unless I have something pressing to do). I'm grindin' out here!!!

    Peace,

    Big Stacks from Kakalak

    Oh I see.
    You should read THE TRIAL, THIS is a classic.

    I'm about to read THE CASTLE real soon.

    I've read THE METAMORPHOSIS, A COUNTRY DOCTOR, IN THE PENAL COLONY and his JOURNAL too and some other novels.

    But I'm still NEW to his work, need more infos.

    Thanks.

    8 am to 4 - 4:30 pm teaching high school. I get a conference period and lunch in the middle, but I'm usually grading class work for most of that.

    If I have essays or tests there's another 1-4 hours grading after I get home.

    1/2 of the day max.

    and my actual work is scoring the interwebs for funny film clips. So when im not meeting with so called 'creatives' i watch bullshit videos all day.

    Stoked that we are launching a new channel on the site focused on 'pretty ladies not wearing much clothes' so for the next month or so im paid to watch dirty movies.

    sure beats some of the shitty jobs ive held down in the past:

    Dishpig
    Groundsman
    Bouncer
    Laborer
    Counter Jockey
    Fruit Picker
    Garbageman
    Sheetmetal worker
    Jizz buster
    Bank teller
    Shit shoveler (farmhand)

    and of course my career for the last 13 years: Bartender.

    I'm self employed so I'm only stealing from myself when I spend six hours of my workday looking at the internots. It can be a problem.
