Long Days Pay Off

I’ve been slaving away literally 10+ hours a day, including weekends, banging my head against digital walls. Combing through news groups, mailing lists, and forums trying to find tips, clues or even solutions to some of the cooler things I want to do with OSX Leopard Server. These things just don’t work like the sparse documentation says. I get obsessed when I know I’m capable of figuring something out but can’t quite get it to work the first try.
It’s mainly been through trail and error of trying to tie four major services together - the number of permutations of sequence of events is mind numbing. Anyways, after starting over from the beginning more than a dozen times and ignoring the poor documentation I’ve made OSX my bitch.
I really should post to all those forums and mailing lists to help those other poor saps out, but damnit I’m tired now.

Do your 10 hour work days include?:
“After a round or two of hassling marketing, I work my way into some files and write some wicked cool code that doesn’t work, but Kevin fixes… The rest of my afternoon is spent forwarding Youtube links and pictures of cats. Perhaps a blog entry or two too.”
Actually I should hire my own marketing department just so I can harass the lazy bastards.
