im working online since more than 1 year now for captchas project as encoder and also im working for affiliate marketing now. I have my own people search engine for free. Anyway if anyone interested to join in my affiliate just pm me I would really like to help someone who need to earn online.
 
very interesting, great thread brad.

it's great to see where everyone works, how they get by in life etc.

me, well I first qualified at a lumberjack, did that for 11 years, then a landscape gardener for the local council,then started to drive HGVs(a trucker) artics, no idea what you call them there lol but the big ones:lol: did that for years and got bored rigid with it, so started my own landscape business, which is going strong, I employ 2 workers and expanding in march to bring another 2 in.
ps, working for yourself is an eye opener, it's amazing the change in attitudes towards your deafness when they actually want something from you, all of a sudden they are undertsanding, and the plus side is, if they are not you can tell them to P*** off without fear of beign sacked:lol:

would I, be like your public enemy? I don't move a lot, act like a ninja at times I'm in people watcher mode. Longest I ever tried not doing anything was standing like 6 hours in the bathroom when I was a kid, just to prove to my dad how defiant I was of his punishment (he only wanted me there for 1 hr)
