Sadly, I'm not allowed to come in late. Staying late means that I'm eating into my own personal time.

There was an article a while ago talking about how geeks never negotiate to be payed properly. Most of them will just shut up as soon as they're making enough to pay their bills on time. As long as they're not worried about being evicted from their house, or having their car repo'd, they're fine.
I think this is because a lot of geeks have a genuine interest in their jobs. To me, writing good code, or shipping good products is a pride issue. I'm not really doing it because I'm making money, I'm doing it because I enjoy it.
I mean...when I go home, I read about coding, I write code, I write about coding, I think about coding etc. I love it.
So staying late, while it can be annoying, isn't really so bad. I'm doing the same thing at work that I would be at home, and my computer at work is a whole lot nicer than my computer at home.
