Do you work at work?

journalist. It varies wildly.

As a teacher, I work even when I'm not at work.

As a school administrator, I'll echo that sentiment.   ;)

I'll third that.  Plus I like what I do and I do what I like (Wonder what Churchill would say).  Teaching also has some very nice vacation benefits.  I just got back to work from 20 days paid vacation...Rats are cool with me!

I'll fourth!  Teaching is relentless; even if you are overwhelmed with the need to escape your job, your job will come find you anyway.  The good teacher will also rely upon the quality of his or her own learning, practice, and prep for the greatest amount of job satisfaction.  So, yes, it is the work at work and the work when not at work that make the job.  I do treasure my scheduled moments of break during the school day for the emotional and physical rejuvenation they provide, because it's right back into the melee when those moments are done!

I work at a company that remanufactures laser and ink catridges. I work full time on the laser and most people are surprised we even have enough business to run a store just for that, heh. In fact so far we have three stores in the area. After all how many people do you know that use a computer and don't have a printer? Let alone how many printers most businesses have operating or how about copy machines? Most people usually start putting the pieces of the puzzle together after that point.

Anyways, I do work at work. If there aren't any orders up due within the next couple days there are always  walk-ins, shipping orders to other stores and our own orders being faxed/phoned in pretty consistently all day. There is always have something to do. On top of that if you aren't taking care of something like that you start doing catridges from inventory to keep your supply up so you don't constantly run out of more popular catridges.

It is overall a busy job but not terribly difficult or stressful. Though the ink guys wouldn't touch laser for nothing they think it looks to hard (some of em have tried and went back to ink quickly heh), truth be told I find ink filling way to finicky and am so glad I don't do it.
