Just curious....
before you rip my head off, this has nothing to do with airlines. However, this is the board I most frequently read on Fodors.com.
What do you frequent posters do for a living? The reason I ask is that some folks post many times through out the day. If you feel it's not my business, then no need to post. I'm just curious....
I'm a National Account Executive for a technology/business outsourcing corporation.

I'm in the same situation as AAFrequentFlyer. I usually check in after breakfast or just before lunch, then late in the afternoon, but the computer is online 24/7, so any time I need a break from what I am doing, these lists are one of the things I do.

JAGIRL, I knew I liked you for a reason--my best friend is a lawyer. 
I am a 43 y/o gainfully unemployed humanoid still trying to figure out what to be when I grow up. Thankfully, I have a very understanding husband.

I'm still trying to figure out if I'll ever grow up! Therefore, thus and hence, I can't tackle what I want to be yet. 
I check in from work too. I'm always online doing research or e-mail or whatever...and my computer is always on. I multitask like a robot! So every now and then when I'm on the phone I'll go surfing...
Plus Fodor's is a wealth of info for travel ideas.

I'm in the oil shipping business and like JAGIRL, do a lot of multi-tasking. So, I'm usually logged in all day and manage to check posts in between doing a multitude of other things online.
Faina, I also have more time to post from work than home.

I am self-employed, an independent legal nurse consultant for many years, doing medical-legal work (there's that "L" word again- but hey, it gives me good $$ to travel with, so I am NOT complaining).
I work at a home office most of the time, and when I am not working at home I am traveling for work or pleasure.
I do a lot of medical record reviewing to figure out cases and try to settle them, and I can only do so much of it without taking a break. Usually when I take a break I check fodors a few times a day, esp. if I am planning trips like I am now (to NYC w/my daughter and then to Peru w/my son).
I don't think I could ever go back to work for someone else; at least it would be extrememly difficult to do so. I am very fortunate to work for myself.
