Simon: Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet your captain, Captain Oveur. Clarence Oveur: Gentlemen, welcome aboard. Simon: Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Dunn. Clarence Oveur: Unger. Unger: Oveur. Dunn: Oveur. Clarence Oveur: Dunn. Gentlemen, let's get to work. Simon: Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force? Unger: Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn. Dunn: Yep. Simon: So, Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger. Unger: Yep. Clarence Oveur: That's right. Dunn was over Unger and I was over Dunn. Unger: So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn. Clarence Oveur: Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.
I'm with you welkin. Picked up my PS2 on launch day, and I've NEVER experienced a crash. She's been on nearly constantly lately with all of the stellar games out this season, and I'm happy to report no glitches. *knocks on wood*
A job is not a right... it's a privilege.
A job is not owed to you by anyone. You earn what you're worth--that is, how much the results of your work are worth to your employer or customer(s). In dollars.
Running a business is not easy, else you'd be running one. The founders of your business started out with a great idea and struggled make money with it. Maybe you're struggling with them right now. Chances are, you solicited your services to that employer, they liked what they saw, and asked you to help them, laying their terms on the table. And guess what--YOU AGREED TO THEM.
My employer buys my skill as a programmer--based on terms we agreed to--and in return I do whatever they want while I'm sitting in the office they provided for me. If at any point, I feel the terms of the agreement aren't to my liking, I will alter the terms or leave. And I would never extort my terms or pay someone to extort them for me.
Most of us in this industry are smart, talented people. I don't live and die by my computer skills. You can be anything you want--you and I chose this field, at least for now.
Stop whining about being "put upon by the cruel world." Compared to other industries, those of us that do our jobs are taken care of very well.
So get to work, or go work for GM.

This post inspired by an entry on the old Dave Letterman Top 10 list "Top 10 Names for the Newly Reunified Germany"... Nazichusetts.Wait... why are the Germans still designing hydrogen-based vehicles.
Guess it's the old programming insight: Good design comes from experience. Experience comes from bad design.
According to this newly disclosed recording:
I guess I hadn't thought of it before I read your post, but perhaps Amazon is responsible for the deforestation of the Amazon.
Oh, the irony.
Oh, the obvious joke...
