    I work in a dungeon without windows. The telephone handsets are the shackles and the curly cords are the chains. We have a lovely (brown coloured) pipe flowing by overhead (uncovered) that constantly reminds us of the technical beauty of the human digestive system. I sit at a desk and get constantly bombarded by monitor flicker, I swear I'm addicted to it by now.

    I have thousands and thousands of €uro at my fingertips yet my shoes have holes in them. I work in Telecommunications.

    I wish to echo Mercies fine words here!

    and to add that I work in an office as a CAD operator and sales admin. (when required) - I am surrounded by women who discuss curtains and matching wallpaper... only for boards, I would be completely insane by now.

    I work for a Global Pollution Agency, we're hired by various welfare and environmental groups to pollute areas so they can whine and bitch and hit the stupid public for money.

    My last assignment was very interesting. I went baby seal clubbing which was great fun. We got it all on camera too and sold it to Greenpeace so they could express some bull outrage at it like the rest of them do-gooders.

    An amatuer unemployee right now ;)

    In that transitional phase between and Computing/Eng degree and employment called being a lazy worthless bum.

    In the market for *proper* employment tho.
