What do you do...

[Rin]

What do you do for a living? As a multiboxer, I've been asked this all the time, and I'd like to find out what the rest of our growing community is doing.

I'll start by stating that I'm a software engineer for a boating company.

You don't have to mention your company here or anything; just what you do.

Cheers :thumbup:

Facilities Assistant

Used to make a tidy packet slowly auctioning my soul off in sales (though I would have denied it at the time). Did that for 6 years, now much happier pottering about the office fixing stuff. Good, honest, off-your-arse work. Couldn't do a straight 9-5 desk job again.

Money's shit mind, but that's life it's all about the trade-offs. I look forward to going to work in the morning. That's worth a pay-cut.

Sorry, I do ramble sometimes

Teach English at an Elementary School in Japan while I try desperately to finish up my Masters in Linguistics. Playing in a time zone opposite the majority of my server works out great. For whatever reason the people who BG on my server during Japanese Prime time are usually good times - fun, and skilled. If I play on a Saturday morning or something when the general population of the server is out in force, the quality of my BG groups seems to drop significantly.
