I work at a university and check both MR on and off the clock....

But soon I hope to be working from home, and forcing myself to be disciplined about checking MR.... :eek:

Be there, done that. Just stay away from the monoclonal antibody stuff.

Oh they don't tellme what it is, they just give me a little paper cup and then wait to see if I die, or turn funny colors.
 
I'm on a one-year fellowship in France, working as a post-doc research scientist in materials science at CNRS in the south of France. I also check out MR while at work; Exposé was invented for a reason, right?
 
Creative Director (AKA - product pimp and pixel chimp) at a promotions/marketing services agency.
 
Warehouse Manager. hardley ever get the chance during work, but this week i've actually been able to.
 
I work at home depot in the garden department. Spend most of my day driving the fork lift. This isnt my career though, im going to college for medicine.
 
I just got my first "real" job at Stop and Shop as a Cashier (I'm in the middle of 30 hours of cashier training and due to voluntarily going through extra paid training I will be first considered for Cashier Department Head when a position opens) and I'm a web designer/video editor on the side
 
I work from home as a designer and administrator (our main systems run on windows ;/ ..email/files and mysql on linux boxes, web and mssql on windows) for a anti-spyware and search engine company. I also take on side projects for designs and run my hosting business from home as well.
 
I sit at home writing about business governance of IT.

Sometimes I get on a plane and go around advising CEOs & Boards, and reorganising large companies. I hate planes.

I work in a four walled room, with no windows, and fake lights, and my boss is a robot, and angry people call me all day. I view MR on the clock to keep from putting my head through a wall......

That sounds very much like my job (although I'm not allowed to view MR)

Come to think of it, that's probably why I'm leaving soon for a better job and only have one week left. :D
 
I'm a wildlife biologist. I cover an area about 60 miles by 50 miles. Not a lot of computers out there, so no real chance to be on MR.
 
I'm a network security consultant, concentrating mostly on Cisco and Checkpoint, but with overlap into both UNIX and Windows platforms. I tend to work within my client's offices during the projects I'm working on, although I can have multiple clients at once so have to arrange my time between them.

I own my company, but that sounds grander than it really is as I'm also the sole employee. There was a time when I was ready to beef it up and take on staff, but after the dot-com bubble burst turnover took a dive for eighteen months and I shied away from the idea. It's much easier sleeping at night during bad times when you don't have the responsibility of others to pay.
 
I'm a student studying something involving asses and cancer. As a student, I'm on MR constantly......like an addiction.

Oh my. You're like a profession druggie. Do you honestly ever get hooked? Try anything that gives you a buzz?
