@retoor my bad, that was the joke. Seems like they do make a lot more money for a lot less effort though.

I'm so burnt out I give faulty toasters a run for their fucking money. I made that stupid compiler and now my existence is numb, please LORD end my suffering, amen.

A week won't do. A burnout requires month(s?) of recovery. Sometimes - years.
If a week is all you need - you're prolly just tired/exhausted -
@netikras It's all I can get right now. Got bills, mortgage, can't just fuck off for half the year.

@jestdotty 100% they are selling a product that I am creating. I just wanted to make the observation, and I know this isn't unique.

Anyone else burned out? I'm fucking burned out. Definitely taking a week off soon. That sort of makes it harder to get motivated though. I was humming along nicely with my new project, but got sidetracked fixing stupid shit in the legacy code and dealing with a moron in customer service, and I guess that kicked me off into a small depression. I feel like I should have worked harder in school, so that I could have gone into sales or something high paying, instead of "software engineering". With all the ass I've been kicking over the last year, I sure hope I get a raise soon.
