Actually I do work, and I listen to all kinds of music.
Probably the more Rock related the more I like it, but I listen to all kinds of genres.
I don’t think our taste in music affect what kind of work we do, or vice versa. Or am I the one exception.

Interesting to see who has the coolest job rather than crappy mundane office s**t.
Pikkrong gets my vote for the best job so far. I once had a story printed in a Scottish literary magazine and was very proud to see my work on the shelf in Waterstones.
Sorry for rambling, I have had a particularly bad day in my crappy mundane s**t office job and am currently drowning my sorrows with some fine Newcastle Brown Ale and slighly less fine Tesco brand brandy.

Newcastle Brown is a fine remedy for a bad day, but can I recommend Double Maxim (formerly Vaux, now brewed by Robinson's of Stockport)? Great stuff if you can get it. Sainsburys and Safeways sometime oblige. Definitely worth a try.
