Web is interesting to me just because it's a new challenge, really. I am sort of bored of design and spending more time on creating books.

if i could think of a job that i'd enjoy that didnt require such an unhealthy amount of time at a computer screen then i'd probably do it.

No, actually, that's what's weird in my experience. Trying to find a print job for over a year, I finally started looking for web work and suddenly had a lot more luck! And, at the time, I had 6 years PRINT ONLY experience and, like, 2 years totally nonpro web experience.
Me too.

no i'm in stupid London with its terrible agencies and general dearth of the kind of positions i'm interested in. the real problem is supply exceeds demand here. NYC and LA (where i think Spencer is doing well in a similar role) being bigger and wealthier i guess there are more opportunities there.

I hate to call it a 'family business' since the employees consist of my grandfather, my father, me and a burnt-out hippie. The former two did construction and roofing for 30 years, then got old, so now mostly sub-contract all the awful work (sheetrocking, roofing, framing). We do demolition, painting, some smaller framing/construction.
I hate it - working in the heat, I could make more going back to bartending/waiting tables - but they'll work around my school schedule and it's keeping me in good shape.

Close, in theory, I could get you lower commission on trades, lower taxation on your RRSP movements and higher yields on our bonds but in reality, I can do nutin for you man.

non-work: thought i'd spend this current 'holiday' picking up new skills to fluff up my cv. started on php, mysql etc and got some way with it but then i started writing opengl screensavers and am now caught up in their shininess. have been reading also, mostly cyberpunk fiction. think i've rediscovered my geek roots.

Surrey? nope, never been to BC. And I can only wish I worked for Sun, then I'd be a true computer geek. The guy behind me did work at Microsoft in the 90s though. We stole him 7 years or so ago so I can only dream of how much we are paying him.The work sucks, but the work enviroment in my office is relatively grebt which is making it all that hard to leave.

And I pretty much have burned-out on that field and now I am trying to figure-out what to do with the rest of my life (an MLS is looking appealing, but so is teaching English to ESL students, too). And Geology and History are fascinating to me, too - too many interests and only one makes money and I don't like it any more. *sigh* I need a sugar daddy or sugar mommy so I can stay home and read.
