  1. Mix Up Your Life. Computers aren't everything. on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1

    I was at school. I spent a 100 hours a week on my linux box or two every week. I loved it. I was having the time of my life. I loved computers. Sometime about a year after getting a job in the CS field I realized I wasn't havnig fun any more. So I started adventuring to hobbies I once had. A year after I hated my job, I'm having the time of my life again. I goto work 5 days a week. I work over 40 hours a week, but under 50. I take my vacation now instead of watching it go away at the end of the year. I visit friends. I travel a little. I backpack. I read non-tech books. Don't get me wrong I still have a vast computer network at home, but it doesn't take over my life. At work (Unix SA) I live by the fact that consistancy is the spice of life. At home I live by the fact that variety is the spice of life. Get away from the computer!
