That's the nature of "exempt" worker status. They pay you an annual salary - period - no matter how many hours you work. There is no overtime, and if you're particularly unlucky, there's no comp time either. We have people here that haven't seen a pay-raise of any kind in over three years. All of this goes hand-in-hand with the lower costs of using offshore programmers.

It took less than two minutes, and I did it at 6:50am on my way back from getting my first cup of coffee. Given my typical extended work week, I'm positive that the time wasn't noticed by the bean counters. After all, nobody else was in the office.

When we were made redundant in 2009 to you-know-where we replaced our name plates with the date we were leaving. Before that, the HR folks were often seen walking around. Once they saw the names were replaced with dates we never saw them again. The firm also used to have these stick-your-finger-down-your-throat motivation prints on the wall, like the one showing a rowing eight with the cheesy caption "If we all pull together we can win the race." They took those down; mission accomplished?

Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: One but he has to spend a year writing an extensible framework to arbitrary change things first and then a custom module for the specific type of light bulb.

You're either exaggerating or I'm a super programmer, because it only took me 6 months

I'm a "duct tape programmer", it only took me 1 minute, and nothing is reusable.

Sort of. I knew she was the bird from Silver Linings but that's it.
Hadn't realised she was the girl from Hunger Games too though.

I still don't know who she is.

I dont know about you but i wont be watching the Oscars. There are few other games i would like to play. For example Diablo 3. The rule of this game is as follows:
1 Diablo 3 account
2 Pizza
3 Beer
4 More beer
The person has to log into his account and play Diablo while eating and drinking at the appropriate moments. And because we have national holiday on 3rth i get to play 3 straight days :P
