1. I don't sit in a cubicle, but I do sit in an office. And I churn
out work. TONS of it.
2. I don't PLAY nerfball at work, but I do fire back if fired upon. And
laugh.
3. I don't go to bars. So I wouldn't know about the kind of
"familiarity" that breeds contempt that you seem to know about.
4. My usual workweek is about 65-80 hours. I haven't worked an 8-hour
day in years. Might be nice to try it some day.
What's your problem, man -- envy?
