I do! Technically anyway. It's a grey area. I work Wednesday through Saturday, but I'm third shift, so I work Sundays also to 7am. And. I. Love. It. OMG, despite having to deal with people, (which I hate) it's quiet, except on holidays. I have lots of time to think. They allow me to pause a moment to write down notes for my stories and poems when I'm not busy with a costumer. Almost everybody is friendly. Management listens to me, I'm not afraid of my bosses. Except one, but haven't encountered any bad moments with him yet. I'm good at my job. I get my work done really fast and then they give me more work. I love to keep busy. I love to move. I'm hoping to get moved back to Stock, but I'm fine as a cashier for now. I was supposed to be a stocker, but they needed cashiers. And I want to learn everything. When I ask what something is it how to do something, they answer it for me or show me how. I get to do extra tasks. But, once I clock out, that's it!! No homework! I bring nothing home! I'm free until the have to clock back at 10pm!! I have three days off to do what I want, I end up sleeping Sundays though. But I never have to worry about what days I may or may not work. It's set. Sorry I kinda went off there, but I guess I'm really excited about my job. Sure I deal with jerks, almost on a nightly basis. And sometimes the work is piled because we're short staffed for the night and I have to get my work and another's work done, but I found that the more the work and more a jerk someone is, the more levelheaded I become, the better I can handle it. Like, I truly work better under pressure. Sorry, I'm still rambling. But yes, I technically work Sundays too. It's great to see someone love their job so much. I hope it keeps being that enjoyable for you. Thank you!! I hope it keeps it up, too! Holidays suck, but they don't happen often! Or, as often as I work! lol

Well, unfortunately, after much looking, I've come to determine that for Android, the options are the Proboards app you've got to pay for, or the mobile version on a web browser. Even the official proboards is telling me their app is the only way to access it. I can't find any off brand apps that support proboards. I'm so sorry for that I tried No need to be sorry, you used your time for me, hell that's more than a lot of RL people I know would do.
Will check out that app though, don't mind a couple of bucks here and there...
I try! Thank you! If you do, let us know how it goes, so maybe others can try it and stuff!

I have an Android, and I use the chrome browser. I was using Tapatalk for a while, but ultimately found navigation cumbersome. There is no good substitute for accessing this site on a desktop, but the chrome browser mobile version isn't bad, and you can switch to desktop mode when you need to access additional functions that the simplified mobile version does not have. My only regret is that, after two years of trying, I STILL haven't figured out how to switch back to mobile mode after using desktop mode. It just eventually switches back on its own after some unspecified length of time. Wait, Tapatalk is also on Android?! I couldn't find it when I had an Android!! But, yeah, I tend to use the browser, myself. There used to be a button near the bottom labeled Mobile. Now it takes you to the Pro boards page, but for awhile, it took me to the mobile version of this site. Mostly, if I want it to go back, I close the browser and bring it back. It's a hassle, but I'm impatient and when I want the mobile back, I wan it then.

Every now and then, I get a popup asking if I want to install and use Tapatalk when viewing the site, but it's also accessible via Google Play. Closing out the browser doesn't do it for me. And I don't want to clear the cache and cookies each time.

I would really have no clue where though. But London sounds like a good place to start for someone trying to transition to another country and find gainful employment to gather some savings before maybe trying another part of the UK out. London is, in many ways, a great place to live - history, museums, theatres, nightlife, sports clubs, the tube, huge diversity of population... but accommodation is hellaciously expensive* - if you want to frighten yourself, have a look at www.rightmove.co.uk/property/London.html which has rental and for sale properties. If that doesn't frighten you, try again in 2 to 3 months and see how the prices have moved! (* unless you own a time machine and can buy about 20-30 years ago in the right area. Then you'll be very wealthy)

And, I never thought about the cache and cookies..Ah, nuts...I'm too scared to check that out on my phone.

And, it doesn't? I'm sorry. Nothing to be sorry about. Just a minor inconvenience in the mobile version that I've learned to deal with. To be honest, I don't like posting from my mobile anyway. I find I'm far more likely to engage in discussion when writing from a desktop. I end up writing terse responses when posting from my phone because using my thumbs on a small screen is less comfortable and intuitive than a keyboard, and the display is smaller and wonkier as well.

If this were later in life, and my children wanted to come and were of working age and stayed with us, or wanted their own place, I would have to shell out the money all on my own, or wouldn't need as big of a place. But I will keep this link for future reference. Thanks Simon.

Yeah, but still I'm not a huge fan of it either, unless I know my post won't be long. Sometimes, it's my only choice. Like, most of my responses this past week have been from mobile, because I was at work and stuff. All your reasons are on point. I agree on them. Also...*says this in disdain* Auto-correct likes making me sound like an idiot.

You are most certainly not alone on that one Well there's an app for that...it's called shake and bake I believe, it uses autocorrect to make everything you text turn into a Shakespeare quote based on the key words in your text, so instead of sounding like an idiot you can always quote the Bard -M
