              I've got this Mexican family that lives under my house. They stay there in exchange for making massive galleries.

                  Laptop. Use it in secrecy when your boss doesn't see.
                  ..and I'm off.

                        I didn't do it very well which is why I quit two years ago and went full time at this. No regrets.

                          I can't right now - it pays me over 90k/annually and this is not an equivilant replacement source of income - yet.

                            you need to schedule your day and follow it. scheduling is simple. keeping to the schedule is hard.

                            8 hours work
                            4 hours relaxing, spending with family
                            4 hours webmastering
                            8 hours sleeping

                            thats only my example, sometimes i can surf at work on breaks and chit.

                              If you're truely an addict then you'll end up spending 8 hours of work, 1 hour with the fam/friends, and the rest in front of your computer. You probably won't make as much money as you hoped for in the beginnging and your wife/girlfriend will think you're insane and you're "playing on your computer" instead of watching TV with her. Then when you finally become successful she won't consider it a job and you guys will probably end up breaking up.

                              And surf at work like hyper to read message boards because it's easy to get stuck on them and not work.

                              Or you can just do what Lude does. Seems to work for him
                              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                    I have a $71,000 per year job, and I only have to work 4 days a week, so I'm staying there for as long as they'll have me.

                                    The porn thing is just a little part-time extra stuff now, and I'm using it as part of my photography hobby. If I start making good money, I'll have to re-evaluate I guess. But for now, I'm still in a job and investing the stock market.
