> I work seven days a week, quite commonly go for days without sleeping so I can work. Jesus. What kind of work do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

I would link to it, but I just relocated every URL on my website to http://www.warplife.com/ethics/reputation.html http://www.warplife.com/ethics/reputation.html I am self-employed. You'd think that would enable me to take all kinds of time off, but it's quite common for the self-employed to work far more than those who hold regular jobs. I have a whole bunch of different projects going on. Admittedly I would work less if I focussed on just one, but it has always been my nature to pursue many goals at once. Of most use to you is that I am building a list of every computer employer in the world. This is going very slowly so far, but I am building tools to automate it. I plan to fund it through KickStarter but am still working on the text of my written pitch, and have yet to shoot the video. When my regular site comes back, have a look at http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/ http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/ It is really easy to get overly obsessed with largely unproductively activities, such as analyzing my web server logs every single day. There are times when there is some point to that, but not commonly.

back in the day (what is now my) ex redesigned my site, but only the homepage and one interior page. It was up to me to update the rest of my site. We needed some quick cash so I bid seven dollars per click for google adwords select on "custom software development". All of the other advertisers were my direct competitors. Were I to receive a click, the visitor would see my old site design, which was quite funky. I did not sleep until I had rolled out Bonita's design to my entire site. It is quite common for me to work for days to reach a contract milestone so I can get the check that I need to pay some expense. I would not wish software consulting upon my very worst enemy.
