I am a flooring (tile/carpet) installer for the state. Being that I work for the state, my work day consists of lusternia and the forums with very little work sprinkled in there all for the same pay. Gotta love state work. Not very interesting, but nonetheless..

I could tell you what I do, but I'd have to kill you all!

Well, I suppose I could tell you this much: I work for the Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State University. I used to work primarily on mobile sensor network research, tracking targets, group behaviors, etc. Now, I work on the latest in torpedo technology, developing software used for algorithm development and system analysis.

I mostly play Lusternia during my lunch breaks at work, but I do get the occasional evening or weekend time in, too.

I'm a student. I can play wheneeeeeeeever I want.

Nerf.

I work for the CIA, and Lusternia is how my superiors send me my missions using a cipher based on a series of romps, licks, and snuggles at the Moonhart.

That's a long ass message.

It's how they upload pictures too.

You jest but see paragraph 284 of the UK's Organised Crime Threat Assessment under the section E-crime threats - MUDs provide an opportunity for "criminal communications".

Huh.

You know, I thought that "Launderia" game seemed a little shady. You pay them RL dollars to get in-game dollars, which can be exchanged at any time for RL dollars. I couldn't see how they made a profit. I figured it was just volume.

Am I moving to a scary country?

I kind of wish I had a work place that allowed computer access, but no such luck. I do like my work though, and my normal university doesn't really care about linking to games while on its network. My favourite place is to play from my room though, always the most comfortable room.

No, you're moving to a country with a lot of outdated, archaic, and occasionally utterly insane laws that nobody actually pays attention to. For example, if you're pregnant, you're allowed to wee in a policemans helmet.

Yeah, I'm -so- hopping the pond.

... I want to move there and get pregnant now

I personally prefer the law that requires all males over the age of 14 to carry out two hours of longbow practice a day.

Edit: Made it go off topic, sorry guys.

Funny story-

I was chatting with Rancoura about some pretty heavy things one day, and at the same time, Viravain and I were hanging out with a new protege in some trees somewhere. All the while, I had a shop full of people perusing, filling out paperwork, getting tattooed, and getting pierced all at once.

In the middle of our fun plotting and the random Viraplay, I heard a blood-curdling scream from the piercing station, saw the fluttering of hands and bodies, and then finally saw a stream of blood and some girl on the floor. She had apparently passed out in the middle of her nostril piercing, and with the sudden movement, the piercer got the inside of her nose with the tip of the needle.

Needless to say, I had to leap up and run to the piercing station for whatever assistance I could provide. Meanwhile, Viravain's staring at me and Rancoura's just left hanging. I must have sounded really, really mysterious.

Last year I worked as IT support on a campus, including in the dorms. Which meant I had a lot of long nights hanging around the dorm waiting for someone's computer to implode the night before their paper was due so I could get paid. This meant a lot of time when I could play Lusternia since I was only "on-call" and not exactly working.

It also led to things like this while I was playing:

Guy with a funky smell (eh, how often do on-campus people shower) and a laptop: I think my computer got wet and I really need this paper of mine off of it.
Me: Okay, let's see what I can do.

After a few minutes of me directing him through things as the computer sort of works then doesn't.

Me: How did it get wet, and how wet did it get?
Guy: Uh, look, I was really drunk last night..
Me: You spilled beer on it?
Guy: No, uh, I think I urinated on it.

Thank God for our policy of talking people through troubleshooting before we put our hands on the computers ourselves.

I work at a nursing home. Most interesting experience so far is a close tie between getting to watch someone's Achilles tendon flex when they moved their foot (massive open wound) and having to clean someone up who had both a prolapsed rectum AND a prolapsed uterus.

Hopefully will have a new job soon, though, as I just got home tonight after weeping uncontrollably for half an hour because work sucks that bad.

By day I work network security for a local place, by night, I am a freelance translator and health/beauty/I-need-a-friend-or-hug consultant for trans-gendered individuals (at a clinic). I have also been known to do occasional stints at the local rainbow club as the bartender making the ponce drinks and mock-tails.

No I do not log in from work, I would have to fire myself. However, I do occasional log in from the clinic where I work evenings, and sometiems from the bar if the evening is slow.

I envy you on the achilles tendon, I'd find that really interesting. Not so much on the other experience.
