    Is there _any_ sensible way to avoid sitting and staring at the screen 8 hours a day?

    Upon having some male gatherings around the holiday season, we all came to a conclusion that a career on many levels doesn't matter as you pretty much end up staring at the screen all day.
    In general I don't have any major nye resolutions for 2013 as any change would still means sitting down and staring at the screen all day so I might as well stick to what I do right now (sit and stare at screen with occasional typing).
    Short of flying away and becoming a scuba instructor, is there any sensible area of contracting that you don't sit and stare at the screen most of the time?

    Plenty, well paid too and small things like minor criminal record is a plus - contractors urgently needed at all locations in Iraq, Afghanistan and soon Iran.

    Ask DodgyAgent for details - him being a patriot he made sure his margin is razor thin on this one.

      Easy, replace the monitor with a line printer and echo the input.

          I think what Grandad was trying to say was stop looking at a screen all day and use these instead: http://www.kurzweilai.net/images/goo...asses.top_.jpg

            There are a number of ways

            You can become a contractor cleaner on London Underground but then you're going to have to kiss Bob Crows arse

            You could become a contract hitman. Lots of exotic travel or putting people in suitcases or pot shots at cars in Switzerland.

            You could also become a contract Porn star. Again they'll be some stuff with arses.

            You know what they say about assumptions!

              Nah, according to the BBC documentary "Louis Theroux - Twilight of the Porn Stars", since the US recession, the bottom has fallen out of it.

                Your Granny had said that GILF porn was making a comeback though and she'd never been busier.

                  Yep, I will admit those gangbang scenes she did with your mother, wife, sister and daughter have been pretty successful. Best of luck to The Team in 2013.

                    What about CCILF or RKILF
