i'm getting 100 emails a day in a crazy email chain from those of you who now have full time jobs which involve sitting in front of the computer all day. you guys are probably the only people who read my blog, and thats because you do it at work and are getting paid to do it. now most of you are educated professionals, but you seem to have a lot of time on your hands which you spend my surfing the web and sending me interesting links.

i've come to an interesting relevation. this all good. this stimulates your creativity. the people i'm working with who make in excess of 150k a year told me while we were sitting around - "you get paid to think". they implied that we don't always have to be doing something per say. the thinking vs doing ratio depends on your industry. now since my job is technically a government job that means.....ha. ok but someone who works for deliotte consulting also brought up the same point. she said that at deliotte they have no assets, equipment, etc, just pure brain power. their whole entire function is to sit around and think.

interesting link for all you silicon valley works, programmers, eng scis, i bankers and consultants

as esquif puts it - "The problem with the industry is male machoism and industry management exploiting that machoism." now there's an irony. males being exploited because of their machoism
