nightcrawler1977 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Exactly !!! i have never understood that . my mother in law is the same way always telling me i need to get a job to keep busy Why? Seriously, why is it expected that someone who has sufficient income has to have a job/career? If one's spouse makes sufficient income for the family, then why does the other spouse have to have a job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure it's an eccentric one, so everybody things you've lost it ;-)I guess I should read the OP eh?We've got a small garden on our balcony, and I have an in-house Linux server that holds my movies and streams them to devices, I like to tweak with stuff on that when I'm bored.

dahlia Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 My time is mostly all mine in the summer and on the days I don't teach during the year. It's strange how much housework one can find to do (should one be so inclined), so that and grocery shopping takes time. I also cook almost every day, so that takes time. I play computer games and like to play until the end of the story or a perfect score, depending on the game, so that takes time. I can get lost on the internet, there is so much interesting stuff (and silly stuff, and sad stuff) to read and learn about, so that takes time. I still have to write articles and conference talks and plan my classes, so even though I'm at home and it looks like I'm just sitting around, I'm doing that. Fortunately, I can do stuff during the day when things are open and work until 2 or 3 a.m. when there are no distractions. Perhaps you now have time for family history or to write that book you've always wanted to write? : ) I don't know much about it, but I think a few people on the board do indexing. You might look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
