You know you've had a stress filled day at work when...

You get home and sit in the car for four more minutes just "rethinking things"

You get to the Gym and can't remember how you got there, but know you should have said x not y to your boss earlier to make him understand that everyone else is against you

You do 30 minutes on the cross trainer and don't know where the time went, and in that 30 minutes your heart rate was above 170 for the whole time and for 12 consecutive minutes above 180

Whilst doing ab crunches on that silly ball you consider if you could re factor of 5 similar searches to make the code more efficient then worry if your boss would actually understand this an achievement

You get home from work eat dinner and then fall asleep comatose on the couch for 13 hours, wake up and head right back to work.

When a friend e-mails you this you want to cry because it is just the right thing and exactly the correct time

I LOVE MY JOB, no really I do - you can tell from the haiku like e-mails I write when I'm there, plus all that stuff above is about you not me

Real life versus code;
he's fighting an endless war.
Burned across his heart,
the programmer's thankless truth:
When it works, we don't notice.


Some of us appreciate you!
