      I get this from time to time. Then I just remind myself to the days before starting to code and how hard I had to work to earn less than now. And I get back to coding instantly then.

      Good point! This is totally better than barman/waiting on, and twice the money at the very least...

        Most people only do that as a step on the way to becoming XML programmers.

          I have been back from my vacation for two weeks, and strangely, I haven't written a single line of code since. That feels great, assuming it does not affect the paychecks. The bad thing is, now I have to worry about pretending that I am coding while I am not. :-D P.S. Just kidding, I am back to coding today.

            No way, he's much too skilled as a developer to become manager.

              Wow! VDK, I have never seen you use foul words. That's very insulting.

                Say it's compilng. Sometimes I lose my desire to code, but more often I lose the desire to code a specific problem or program and switch to another when possible.

                    That's what I liked about my last job. I worked in a satellite office twenty miles from my boss. :-D
