| Whatever. When you come in at 1am to work a window 4
hours wide with your job on the line, you can tell me
who's busy. When you're on call and your pager goes off
at 11pm because some executive joker doesn't know how to
open an email attachment... I've been both a developer and
a network engineer and trust me both have their upsides
and down sides. Yeah, often during the week I'm not as
busy minute-to-minute as I would have been writing code..
but then, when *I* wrote code, I did it 3-5 times as fast
as everybody else so I was still sitting around.
Being self-employed, I do what I please anyway these days.
