i'm supposed to have a private life? damn, obody told me. why am i always the last one to know? as for my contract, i'm on call 24x7x365 including holidays and vacations. i hope you don't work for a startup like me. i won't do it again, i was sold on the dream. i was stupid.

and the only perks are that i get everybody else's cast of PCs and i get to do all my own tech support.
