> I haven't asked much of my son lately as they're working on a big program now putting in tremendous hours. Two of the programmers actually pitched pup tents at the company to sleep in! At least, the company feeds them very good - different ethnic foods every night or whatever they want. And the bonuses when it's all over are good.
>If you don't mind me asking, what kind of programming does your son do? It was always assumed that I would pursue a similar career, but the kind of programming I do (POSIX C, mostly -- i.e. NOT windows programming) is not exactly in high demand, unless I'm multidisciplined. I also don't always work well with others, which is sometimes a problem for those kinds of jobs. The kind of job your son has sounds nice. Is he the son who has depression/ADHD?
> I really like the idea of buzzers going off. Or maybe I'll set it up with a deep voice saying "Are you doing your REAL work, Judy??!!" "Get back to it!!"But what will the neighbors say?! :)
