Members of this website should be making their moves, and posting on the forums. Instead they're probably out shopping or to a movie or some other worthless activity... watching a B-A-L-L game like a retard..

Quite a few players here play chess at work and go off and do things on the weekends.

Good point--that can account for some of the people not logging in on weekends...

I've been off work for almost 2 months. I'll only be able to play here after work.
My boss expects me to debone and grind and patty at work and not use a computer except to order. He's a prick.

Supply and demand.

Isn't that the reason why we all work - we need the money. If we enjoy what we do, so much the better but that is not the case for all of us.

I think most people enjoy what they do, for the most part. Am I wrong?

I'm not so sure about that but if they think that way, it makes their work so much easier. I believe many would prefer a different job if they could choose but they hesitate to make a change for different reasons.

I worked in the newspaper business for 40 years, and it wasn't for the money. I can't imagine doing anything else.

That was funny, Drew. 🙂 It is interesting and I know that Andy will be back with an interesting reply.
