    I think we may have identified where your motivation has gone.... :-)

      nah, enjoying the apocalypse to the tune of metal seems more my thing. I'm just getting more into a zone when I do actually code and not do monkey work around here. Been doing QA and tech support instead of programming. (life of an intern = gopher)

            I'm seriuosly stuggling to motivate myself toady. It could be due to the fact that I'm feeling a little tired, or the fact that I've been told to stop doing the job I was on (as I was just getting into it), and concentrate on something new, whose requirement docs completely contradict each other. All I want to do is curl up into a little ball and goto sleep. Even listening to some pumping music hasn't kick started my efforts (amongst others, 'End of Heartache' by Killswitch Engage, which I haven't listened to in ages - still a cracker). I need inspiration. Give it to me. Inspiration that is. Thanks in advance, Slacker.

              Make a list of everything technically ludicrous that your boss says. I've done this with my IT teacher; one of the gems is "before Chrome, you couldn't search from the address bar"

                I was just cc'ed on an email from a client to my boss and all the mucky mucks where I work singing my praises as to how much money I am saving them from my hard work. Bottom of the email it says "...too bad he's a contractor and we can't reward him properly!" So guess what I'm doing today? Feet up and :zzz: :-D

                  Although that sounds like a good idea, it would make my job even harder to concentrate. Also, it may get a little embarrassing when I get up to get a coffee... :~

                  Then DO YOUR WORK AND STOP GETTING UP TO GET COFFEE! You almost sound as if you don't wont to get non-kid-sister-safed.

                  Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]
