I've been off work for almost two weeks -- asthma, depression, and some sort of bacterial nastiness that settled right into the lungs. I finally got back last Thrursday, and figured I'd need to come in on the weekend to deal with the email backlog

Masochisim?

I watch the IT department at work, and I feel great sympathy for them, because I have enough training to understand what their problems are, and no one seems to cut them any slack at all.

*I* get more leeway then that. I've made what I considered to be fairly major errors and had my boss say "Ah, no customers noticed, no harm done."

The glamorous lifestyle? The opportunity to experience fun, adventure, and really wild things? The prestige and respect attached to such a lofty vocation?

Or perhaps as in my case, you're a geek at heart and had no other real alternative. :-)

Good luck.
