What do you guys do for a living?

I sit in a cell for 8 hours a day. No window with temperatures ranging from freezing to as hot as sitting in a kiln. All day I am barraged by psychological abuse from other inmates since I am not allowed to speak my mind freely for fear of being taken out. Daily I am forced to use my creativity at speeds and workloads unheard of from other creative prisons from my past. There is no escape because the halls and grounds are continually monitered by the prison camp guards who walk around with sheer spite and can make men twice their size turn into babbling, trembling children. Many of the inmates crave to be like the guards and will sell you out just to get a little closer to the upper hierarchy. You have to constantly watch your back and actions to not raise any suspiscion that you are actually human.

Many tell me I am lucky to be in this prison and I do have a family so that is what has kept me alive all these years.

Yard is for one hour at 1pm

Nice!

I suppose I'll pass away then.

Nah, Only The Good Die Young! You have a long life ahead of you

well.......since this thread has gone terribly on topic so far I suppose I'll contribute honestly. I have a back ground in electronics. Studied how to design computer circuitry [not put them together]. That was back in the 60's and very early 70's. Who knew computers would be in every home. I worked in the electronic field for a short time. I saw more money being made in construction at the time so I started my own busness very quickly. In the end I had 16 remodeling crews, a big warehouse and all the freaking headaches in the world. Most all my clients were quite wealthy and/or well known and referrals flowed freely. The last 15 years that I was in construction I never gave an estimate, passed out a business card, or wrote up a contract. I charged what I wanted to when the job was done. We were reputable, everyone was happy and I always got paid. I started breeding the parrots about 30 years ago for something to do when I retire. The breeding went wild and my reputation skyrocked to where I could charge what I wanted and set my own terms. I retired from construction when I was about 48 and just bred the birds which is really easy if everything is set up properly. It really wasn't a job IMO. I was diagnosed with some nifty heart problems several years ago and the doc told me to go home, get my affairs in order, get rid of the birds and move to a warmer climate as my heart is at risk in cold weather. I sold most of them and I still have a few of the expensive pairs so I have some income. We currently live on my investments and my wifes job. I set my wife up in a preschool/daycare business over 20 years ago and shes still at it....untill we move, then she retires. After we move and we get settled I will have all my affairs in order. I suppose I'll pass away then. Hence the reason I'm not in too big a hurry to get moved and get everything in order, although we have to get out of this big place soon. Its just too much maintaince and expense.

My short answer to the title of the thread is "nothing". But I'm buzy all the freaking time. wth

extensive background :-)

Used to have parrots too - until I was 20 or so ...

I remember I had a small one that lived for 16 years, poor parrot had his leg broken twice and still lived to a golden age - he talked too.
