As Han Solo said: "Yeah well that's the real trick, isn't it.." :cool: Thank the Maker that all of the Hippest software development startups are more than willing to stock the encampment with free beer, stocked fridges, free vending machines with the sausage/cheese stick combo pack things (damn those are good), catering, ping-pong, video games, casual Fridays, Nerf stuff, beer, cots, burial plots, etc.!** Who needs a life with work like that! :laugh: ** Not to mention being able to have a manager whose job it is to come around and stick a finger up of everyone's arse for one hour a day, thereby causing you to have to work an extra hour to actually do the work you were supposed to be doing during said hour... Just sayin'... :-D
