Wine in a box is my favorite thing at a classy party!

[Jeraly 4]

We get wine in boxes here too You're in the room?! I can't see you!!! I went into admin to find a way of creating a permanent room but I can't find how to do it - grr

Haha - we polished off plenty of boxed wine on Christmas evening There were 17 of us though It was great!!

Anyone else have wine and nibbles or is it just me?!?!

I just typed a "helloooo" message. No answers.

Huh, thought boxed wine was a unique delicacy to California.

[Jeraly 4]

Doh! Just logged out, hafta head back to work after lunch break. Back on in about 10 mins.

[Jeraly 4]

Haha - well... you only have like an hour left of work so!! I did suggest yesterday that wine was snuck into a thermos

Ok - so moxie and I are in my chatroom - anyone else game..?!

Haha aww that sucks!!! Ok well it is still showing you are in there so you prolly didn't log out properly - gimme a shout if you head back in and get no response from me - I have the sound on so I can hear when I get a message

[rae_and_scott 1]

Haha - well... you only have like an hour left of work so!! I did suggest yesterday that wine was snuck into a thermos

ha, I WISH! I don't work 9-5. I work at least 10 hour days, and yesterday I worked from 8am to 1am. Tonight I will just quit at some point and drink my damn wine. Or maybe I'll start while I'm still working. lol

[Jeraly 4]

Eww - sounds horrible... I got out of the whole teaching thing because while it looks good on paper it is so crazy you just end up having no life... What do you do if you don't mind me asking? I work in an office - it's ok - I'm always busy so the days pass quickly and it is 9-5 Mon-Fri and only 3 miles from home so about a 30 minute drive each way on average. It isn't much money but I do enjoy having that time to myself while I can enjoy it - am sure things will change when I move though...

lol, you were close Susie. And I don't mind you asking at all Aly! I am an animator; I do animation for graphics for (mostly) tv.

I freelance, and while my hours are long and I work a ton, I also have a lot of freedom, and the money's not bad (I'd say it was good if I didn't live in NYC where a person can't even afford a studio apartment... but that's a whole other can of worms!). Last year I was able to take 4 vacations, and in that, I went to 3 new countries. Prior to being freelance, I slaved away doing the same thing and never travelled anywhere for basically 5 solid years.

I usually work in offices, but occasionally, like now, I get to work from home, which I dig.

But it does get hard, and sometimes I feel like it eats up my life (especially around the holidays)... I haven't been the to gym in forever and I also take a martial art and my attendance there is sucking.

But at least I don't have a boss!

haha, i was very close indeed!! with those hours, and going by the area that we both live in, i felt you were a shoe in!! lol my roommate works in editing and one of my best friends works in production, they both have those insane hours, its unbelievable...

your job definitely doesnt sound half bad though...definitely better than the boring office job that i currently hold...booooooooo...im going to grad school in the fall (not sure where yet, because im still waiting for those acceptance letters!), and would love to start doing some creative things on the side...i love photography, and would love to do some freelance work in that area...

at the current moment though, i am working with a friend on starting up a free-walking tour business in the city...any future tourists??? you know who to talk to!! woot woot!!

creative work coupled with being your own boss is always a great combination
