job is the wrong word, maybe. I would consider volunteering a job. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 09:45 2
- ah, I intrepreted it as having some sort of paid work. - znufrii Apr 6, 09:54
- heck, I consider extreme couponing a job. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:48
I agree. If you don't need it, don't want it, and can make it work, more power to you. (nm) - musubi Apr 6, 09:44
Volunteer work. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 09:41 1
- sure, doubtless you'll need to find ways to occupy your time - znufrii Apr 6, 09:43
That's what I think too. Plenty of people out there need jobs, no reason for me to take one I don't need. I'd be gardening, doing dog training, etc. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:39 8
- seriously. I would stop working this minute if I could. -- nm - decline Apr 6, 09:44
- I can't envision a desire for a perpetual vacation. -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:41 5
  - no disrespect but I look at your life as one big long vacation - Epiphany Apr 6, 09:47 3
    - I can't tell if this is a diss or compliment -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 6, 09:52
    - right now, yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 09:51
    - *nods* -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 09:48
  - That may be because of the concept you have of "vacation," or maybe the fact that you equate not having a job with it. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 09:45
- sure, it's increasingly a household luxury to *not* need both parents to work, but if you can avoid it, more power to you. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 09:40
