well, the latter bit certainly rings true ....
when I was still working in pluto, one incident at the orpid
stayed in my mind .... I had just camped overnight in the orpid to
squeeze out a deadline, I was groggy, tired, cold, and wondering
what the hell was I doing there ..... so I trotted downstairs to
replenish my kopi cup ......
passing by the marketing guys' pen ......... I saw what a few of
the chaps had on their computer screen ...... they were playing WOW
......
they work far less hours than me, have a much less demanding
job, get to meet people every day and jet around and wine and dine
on company expenses, and they have enough time on their hands to
play computer games at work !!!!!!! ..........................
it's much better to be a marketing guy as a working hack
....
