I'm one of these?

I know. It's not really soliciting serious responses when its premise is that we must not be working at real jobs because we are able to go on CP all the time throughout the work day and read / post to forums.

I have a real job; I just happen to slack off a lot.

I never offered any personal info, you're the one who was complaining.

There are about a dozen people on CP who know me personally, there are at least that many who I'd rather didn't know anything about me. If you really must know I own my own business.

That's cool. I get it. I just wish the straightforward answers outnumbered the "comedy" answers. You have a right to privacy, so no worries.

I didn't post what I do in the first post, but I work in I.T. and when I get a chance during the day, I try to read and post on CP, but can't quite often during work. I do like reading CP each morning while I eat my breakfast and have a coffee and try to post during games as well as sometimes late at night on the weekend.

You are an IT guy, how can it be that you can't quite often read and post during work? Don't IT guys have all the time in the world?

... are you the type who sits at a desk or the type who travels from location to location?

Prime Minister.

Now get back to work all of you; you are destroying our great nation's productivity.

P.s. please stop by the "Edmonton's no good" thread; that's a non-partisan thread that we can all support.

I work for an EPC, but I start a new job with an owner next week, so my give a #### level has plummeted and shockingly my CP time has been inversely proportional...

Most people know what I do, but if not, I own and operate an accounting company, so I'm the boss and I do what I want.

I don't know why when people ask a serious question around here it's immediately a race to see who can make the funniest response. I don't think I saw a single serious response. Are people afraid of giving out too much information on the internet? Just not sure why everyone's so afraid to be honest. Maybe someone can explain it to me.

Nevermind. It's the internet. 'nuff said.
I was actually truthful in what I do I just didn't state the names of the companies. The one about working for a professional diving team I think is pretty straight forward. The other one, I work in post production/vfx for movies and tv, manage the technical support department, IT, video, audio even the buildings.

Not overly surprised that people are not straight forward with a question such as this, it's fairly personal.
