Where do you work? (real estate, school, drug test, opportunities)

I suppose a slave would not be able to afford the internet, too, unless he is using a computer owned by his master (or by the public library, but who lets their slaves go the library?)

Than I guess I didn't go to work today in a factory

Telecommute.

While I have a nice office, I do also work out in the field 2-3 days a month, for at least parts of days, in various locations along the waterfront. I try to do more of that when the weather is nice.

Before this job I worked from home for a few years.

[plain and simple]

I did the cubicle, white collar, ridiculous, dehumanizing nonsense for 20 years and walked out. I switched to blue collar retail because I loved people. After a few months I realized that I grossly over-estimated the intelligence and common sense of the average consuming public and hate retail now, too. The slowest woman in the world came into the store today and broke a jar of molasses. She couldn't outrun the spill.

After Corporate America and Retail, it doesn't leave much out there but for me to make my own opportunities and start fulfilling my own goals and objectives instead of other people's. That's what I intend to do.

Spent 23 years in the USAF maintaining aircraft. Have bounced around the U.S. in a big truck for the last 15 years.

I used to work out of a car, now I graduated to an office.

[NJBest]

I work from my home.

You had "unemployed" but you forgot "Retired." Some of us - the lucky ones - are, ya know. "Unemployed not seeking employment" would be misleading.

Served my sentence in cubes during my third and last "career" (priors being military and law enforcement) but ended up with a large and nicely appointed office with a real door and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Guess now I'm just a slave at home!

I'm responsible for a water system from wells to taps, for a sewage system that eventually turns the poop into re-claimed water, for keeping the lights working on the highways, keeping the parks department ball field lights working, making sure four municipal swimming pools can operate, keeping things working at four public libraries and what ever else is asked of me. I help make civilization possible.

Chose the equally split in lieu of "other". I work in the lab half the time. My desk is in an open office concept space. Sometimes I'll find an empty conference room to hang in, work from home, or where ever.
