Do you work to live or live to work?

Many of us make fun of MCD's workers because they earn $5/hour or whatever. While some of us are working 12-16 hours a day and that ALL we do. MCD's workers doesn't wake up and check the supply of the burgers they got in their fridge, while some of us wake up and check emails, stats etc.
This bring me to the question....

Do you work to live or live to work?

I worked because I'm bored and have nothing else to do. Would rather work than watch tv all day.

My problem is I run out of things to do. It's hard for me to find people around here that have time to go wakeboarding with me. I just found some people to go skydiving. You can only go to the beach or on trips so many times, before it becomes the same old thing.

I do get out and go cruising on the Harley with other people every now and then. But because other people have regular jobs, that gets kinda hard to get togather with them to go cruising. It gets boring riding by myself.

I hate watching tv, so that just leaves me with work most of the time.

True. America is indeed a boaring place. There is so much things to do until its all gets boaring.

Hear hear! I work because if I didn't I'd be bored as hell. I guess it's a little of both - you have to work (to an extent) to live, but truth be known, I'm just not happy unless I'm making money.

I have to work to support my lifestyle anyway, all my hobbies are damned expensive - parts for my mountain bike, skydiving lessons, restaurant meals, parts for my car etc.

A combination of both.

I bust my ass all day to pay the bills 7 days a week filling orders for clients etc...and then comes along a day or two when I have nothing to do...I've been dreaming about those days coming along and figured all I will do is relax, maybe go see a movie etc and then what do I do?

I sit around my computer all day working on something...LOL

The population of this country is 273 million. 140 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work...

There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48
million to do the work...

Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal
government, leaving 19 million to do the work.

2.8 million are in the armed forces, preoccupied
with killing Saddam. Which leaves 16.2 million to do
the work.

Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work
for state and city governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the
work.

At any given time there are 188,000 people in
hospitals. Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work...

Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That
leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.

And there you are sitting on your butt at your
computer, reading jokes. Nice, real nice...


ooppsss don't get mad at me.. just saw that article

I love what I do! When I work a 16 hour day, it's because I want to. My bills are so low that I can work one day a week and still pay everything. I like being in a position where I don't have to work a lot to pay bills--it keeps my "job" enjoyable.

I'd love to work to live but it always leans towards the live to work...once I'm there, there I'll stay until my eyes burn out and my fingers ache...and it's not intentional, just into what I'm doing.

You should be the last one making fun of people working at McDonald's, at least they're cashing checks and making money... you just play on GFY all day acting like you make money off this.

Burned!

Fact is, I get paid to play on GFY. We've got affiliates netting in the region of $10,000 a month from our affiliate programs. Fact is, the adult industry *does* make money. Of course, a lot of them don't have what it takes to promote our product, so those netting less than that every month obviously aren't bright enough to take advantage of what's put in front of them.

When was the last time you saw the average Micky D's employee cash a paycheck that size?

I imagine working to live is something you gotta do or you;re broke. And Live to work is someone who is a loser and doesn't have any personal life.

I live because I can work when I want, for as long as I want and I still make good money.

My whole life is not dedicated to the online adult business tho. But I do enjoy it. It lets me have fun
