Re: Not allowed to have a life - ever
@Uncle Slacky:
You forget that IT pro's are, in some ways, like lawyers, doctors and mechanics. As soon as someone finds out what you do, the inevitable "i have this problem that i haven't bothered to talk to anyone else about for the last X years, but i really need your help desperately and urgently".
Then we have the constant phone calls from family, friends, friends of family, family of friends, and random other people you don't know, who got your number from one of the aforementioned people.
Peace, quiet, sleep? I've heard of them.
