My job has been shitty lately.. in that I'm having to work. I might even be heading to Salt Lake City in a few weeks - haven't got confirmation to book it yet, but probably going. I haven't traveled for work in ages, but it would be helpful. I've recently been assigned to a.. umm.. how is it phrased in common.. oh I know.. suppose you're a lawyer and you've been doing tax law for the last 5 years, and now you need to do a criminal case.. without a net. Ya.. it's sucky.
On the other hand, I work from home and can take a nap for lunch, and I get paid pretty well.. although I know I'm a bit underpaid (guys I know have switched jobs for 120k recently), but it's okay. I still have it better than 99% of the people in the world. I'm pretty sure that's not an exaggeration.
