I'm sure it helps when you are your own boss (either on personal projects, or when self-employed).

I rarely experience that, but I don't work on that many projects and the ones I'm working on are mostly administrative for my customers, so in terms of code there's little glory to be had 
I do have my moments, like when I finally got an Azure Function working in production as it's advertised (only took me years, the trick is to absolutely 100% put it in its own storage account).
I guess having a big cauldron helps in your case, though

It's not the cauldron, but the familiar that does the work.
(A familiar is supposedly a contact with the Devil, who gives the witch her occult powers)

Step 0: Be a mage in any D&D game.
Step 1: Cast Familiar (having the familiar gives some bonuses, dependent on your alignment and type of familiar).
Step 2: Put it in your inventory so it can't get killed (having it killed will have a permanent negative effect on your stats!).
Step 3: Replace Familiar with another spell, like Chromatic Orb or Magic Missile.
Step 4: Be a slightly more kick-ass mage.
Step 5: Profit!
They're spirits, by the way.
Not necessarily evil.
They could be demons or fairies, often taking the form of an animal, like a cat
Not to be confused with a spirit animal.

over-cook my bacon, but sometimes it happens, and interestingly enough, it still tastes excellent.

You cannot undercook or overcook bacon! It's bacon we are talking about!

for me, if it is not crispy, it is under-cooked. Still good, but not great.
Over-cooked for me is blackened. Some people I know will not eat blackened bacon - more for me.

American bacon needs to be crispy because there isn't any meat; just strips of vaguely bacon-flavoured fat.
British bacon (known as Danish bacon because that is where it is smoked even though the pigs are British) has more meat and so should not be over-cooked, or even very crispy. Very meaty, yum!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

very true, indeed. 
If one is lucky here in the States, some farms and local butchers will cut the bacon for you so that it is as you described - "meaty".

Imagine being at the siege of Rochester Castle; where they used some 40 pigs to burn through a mine shaft and bring down part of the castle. Everything's better with bacon.

I argued against the award but the rest of the panel accused me of using a straw man argument.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Shouldn't have won the award, he's a grumpy old cuss acts like he's got a straw up his ass.

I was testing a prototype board to find out where the fault was in it.
I narrowed it down through a combination of software checks and logic probes.
Everything was all well and good so I took a nap.
Apparently whilst napping, I finished up the work on that board. And then after I set it aside it started smoking.  
Then I woke up.
I'm glad I usually don't remember my dreams. Who needs that kind of stress?
Give me lunatic killers chasing me through the woods, ghosts, or whatever else, but don't mess with my work, dreams! That gets me.
