I have the whitest of white-collar jobs: I'm an iPad app developer. By about 6 hours in, my back will be clicking and popping, arms sore, you name it. I can't handle being in that chair for more than about 8 hours a day before I MUST stop, and go home. I'm also getting nothing meaningful done after hour 8 anyways, so I leave.

I started my current job about 7 weeks ago. In the interview for it, I told them flat out that they should never expect more than 8hrs/day of attendance, with about 7.25 of that being actual "work". They accepted and hired me anyways.

Never underestimate the strain of a desk job.

Anyways, is there still a gathering tonight? I can make it (because I'll be done work at 5:30, you can bet on it).
