Do you have a paid position where you work at least 37.5 hours per week?

Yes - I work more than my share, damnit!
No - but I'm retired, so it's all good.
No - and if you're hiring, here's my resume!
SAHP - I work from home, carin' for the chillin'.

Yeah, I'm thinking so.  I get ever so board and lonely.  I would just hope I could keep a job.  I'm still kind of insane and that has caused problems before in the workplace.

Watch movies and review them on a blog.

I did until today. <_<

But it depends on what you mean as fulltime.  If you mean fulltime, permanent, then no.

I should be back in a week or two, but in the meantime, no paycheck.

I get paid for one but I don't work one.

Yes, but I'd prefer a 25 or 30 hour job.

Yes. My normal contract states that I work just 35 hours a week, which is considered full-time. However right now it is close to about 43 hours or so and paid accordingly.

I love conquering admin/paperwork and trying to better the kids. :D

Currently E-6 with 7 years, but hope to retire at O-6 with 44 years. Fantasy dream is O-8, but I doubt that I will be willing to do the doctoral degree/publications that will require.

Do you have to do publications and doctoral degrees to be a general or something? That sounds like a terrible idea to me.

I count myself as retired, though I also have caring responsibilities.

Btw, get rid of that evil coolant fluid in your cars!  :mad: ;)

Yes, but I'm half-tempted to shove CdM's resume under my boss' door and walk away from it.

It would be more effective wrapping it around a brick and throwing it through the window, but I don't think that's the message to send.

I feel I'm at that point now, though. These damned online application systems will be the downfall of western civilization.

Full time job, 40hrs per week. Good vacation and benefits for a US company. Five weeks vacation per year. Decent medical, low cost for me as I use the hospital system's insurance plan, which includes all my doctors as one of the hospitals and many doctor offices are in my hometown. I have over 400 hours accumulated sick time, which has come in very handy the last year as I was out sick for a month then a couple other weeks later on.

Getting close to early retirement which I can do in a year and a half if I can swing the medical insurance before Medicare kicks in.

Good going to those of you in the military reserves. I was in the reserves, thought of doing 20, but got out early after my second enlistment. Just got tired of it, which was dumb on my part since I liked the military. Almost went back in a couple times though.

I will admit working for medical systems totally sucks ass pay-wise, because if you're not clinical you're lower than whale shit, but damned if they don't have the best healthcare benefits available.
