Lol I guess my 'fun project' budget on the clock is a whole lot more than off the clock so that may be part of it for me, though occasionally I do wish I could just spend time on my own fun stuff. Right now I get to be somewhat experimental at work so it keeps me interested. The fun factor would definitely drop off if I had to do mundane stuff (which is why I actually left my last job).

The half I don't like is, coincidentally, holding hands and herding cats. Especially when said hands and cats are traditionally senior to me. Oh, and waiting on progress bars to time out because certain organizations can't seem to do IT right...

The result, I am also far more productive after everyone goes home/logs off.
