Right now I'm in a darkened animation studio at uni, 'working' on a film for my final year project. I'm actually sitting on my computer surfing youtube (today I've found a video of a praying mantis verses a snake) and .be because animating is actually pretty boring. This is how I spend my average day. It gets broken up with regular trips to the uni shop for coca cola breaks and someimes I even bring in my good headphones and work on my music... and at about 5 o clock I go to the bar for a pint... or few.

What do you guys do with your days, anyone else at Uni/college/work?

Currently on forced break from university (mature student) where I'm doing various computer related courses, mostly pertaining to computer science.
Right now I'm sat at home working on a website and feeling pretty cold as its freezing outside.
Sometimes I do housework too.

I work for South West Trains as a Station Supervisor.

I bust my balls trying my harderst to get people on the move and to where they want to be, only to be treated like shit by the general public.

The money is too good to leave.. I'm trapped..

I occasionally play some DnB over the speaker system on nights.. or when i'm in areas the stereo cable wont reach!!

I work for the company that does all the food and retail outlets on all UK rail stations. Consequently spend most of my life on a train and am probably one of those fuckers making Glim's life a misery Teeth So when you pick up a dodgy pasty or coffee, we're to blame!! I visit sites all across the UK and complete audits on the dreaded health and safety, food safety, standards etc................................God I'm dull Crying

Still, get paid very well for it so am, like Glim, trapped and unable to do something more fun. And it pays for me to buy the kit to make music so well worth it in the end

I'm a student in terminal year, plus I work as full time software developer (engineering software). I also work on a private game project and 3d engine as coder, (someday this might become an indie game). If the game thing works out, my dream (one of the many) would be to start a small indie game company.

Other than that, in my remaining time I also try to produce music. I was also planning to get into DJ-ing and even started looking what equipment to buy, but I have no time and energy for that too Smile


Peace,

Sundancer.

I sell vitamins and accupunture needles to Naturopathic Doctors and random celebrities like Ann Hathaway
8 hour days of taking orders, picking orders, packing orders and shippin them the fuck out,
pay is good and I just got a raise but the downside is have to pay for my bennys now $80 a month which is still pretty good and we finally have dental which is sweet

Im also working at a comic book store on the weekends (christmas cash)
I sit around for 4 hours, act like im doing work and then leave with a dvd,5 finger discount for employees Wink

when im not doing those things which is never it seems, I like go to bars, pick up girls, smoke phillys with the crew, and occasionally make some dnb Drummer

I also fix computers for dumb people who dont have a clue Huh

on my off days i spend time with my mrs and boy,and try and get some studio time in when i can ,which is becoming alot more infrequent recently which is unfortunate btu thats life i suppose!! Big Grin
