Absolutely. I'm an administrator but I do a lot of programming to automate parts of my work. Some people fail to understand what a creative engagement that is.

Absolutely. I'm an administrator but I do a lot of programming to automate parts of my work. Some people fail to understand what a creative engagement that is. I'm not saying my code is fantastic or anything but it is an extremely emotionally driven art. Some people only understand clocking in, working 8.5 hours, then going home. To me, I might be working 16 hours 4 days in a row to fix one function in some code I use that is driving me crazy; and if I can't then I'm just not going to be able to do my job anymore. On the other hand once it's fixed it's one of the best tools the company has (in that it's doing something that few others in the industry are doing, even if... nobody except me is using or knows about it... because it's managing an aspect of my work and it's not important to them HOW I do it).
