I'm lucky in that my job, as hectic and grating as it can be, allows me to have my hand in a few different projects at the same time, allowing me to flex a couple different muscles, as it were. Although a LARGE amount of my time is spent developing (I agree that programming is much more than just typing in lines of code), I also get to manage a small group of interns, develop our B2E strategy, go to a conference once-in-a-while, and handle much our groups 'PR'.

When I do code hardcore (as I have been again for the past 5 days or so), I find myself falling into a groove, and the time just flies. If I can get my mind around a couple problems, proof them out, write some skeleton test code to prove out my theory and begin an implementation, I'll look up, and it's passed time for me to go home.

Granted, I also seem to have a loss of ocular muscletone lately, and I sleep like the dead once I DO get home, but if the problem is interesting enough, I can work for weeks on it

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
