At the time I programmed as a hobbyist to try and better myself--I wasn't always just playing video games after work. Eventually I got an office job as a temp doing data entry. I came to dislike my single task I was given, so I did what any lazy programmer would do and automated it. Eventually I was found sleeping at my desk while the program was running, and was reported to the boss. When I went to the boss's office to be reprimanded he instead referred me to the head of IT who then offered me a job as a programmer. That was about 5 years ago.
