Re: Work life / home life balance Member 1055573530-Dec-14 5:43 Member 10555735 30-Dec-14 5:43  I agree. I suppose my response seemed directed only at project managers, which isn't what I intended. Your response more clearly conveys what I meant. At my current employment we run into the same problem on almost every project. We give time estimates just to find that unrealistic promises have already been made. Then during the process of fulfilling those demands (which often means lots of overtime), the customer is given too much freedom in requests causing scope creep. So when the product comes out later than the deadline (and more bug-riddled than we accept), we take the hit.

Not that asking has brought it about for me, but at least the question is on the table. Re: Not kidding, either: W∴ Balboos, GHB22-Dec-14 3:27 W∴ Balboos, GHB 22-Dec-14 3:27  Welllllll, it went like this. I used to suggest that she get an cute assistant to help around the house and stand in for her (or with her?) if she be feeling a bit tired. Eventually, the Mrs. decided to relent and said the assistant idea was pretty good - she'll get a blond surfer type (thus cleverly turning the whole thing around on me). So now I'm just quietly hoping for a wonderful (and horny) surprise.

Most of the time I get irritated by people making fun of programmers by saying, "He has knowledge of programming but lacks life!". No, that's wrong. We have a life and we're constantly making it better as we're building up new platforms etc. It just takes time. Yes, this Christmas I am wondering and willing to get a new languge to learn, that would be much tough and might need me to pull my hairs off. Not because I want to learn more, but because every other language that I try to learn is just the same, the concepts are same and the syntax is just a little bit different. I want, a new platform to program on. I am hopefully going to get a student this Christmas to teach the programming to, this time it is my own brother! Well, in the end it is a "Merry Christmas" to everybody from my side! Remember everyone in your prayers and hours of joy.

I ticked a payrise and/or promotion. Not getting it this christmas because I'm starting at a new company in januari, but it's something I ALWAYS want (don't we all?) so why not this year for christmas? Now what I'm REALLY getting? I got a nice bonus at my current job. And I'll probably get some DVD's from my parents (I'm hoping the extended limited 3D blu-ray edition of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) I don't want bacon, I know where to get CListCtrls, I wouldn't say no to Salma Hayek.

I actually buy a new machine "almost" each year, but surprisingly it appears to have been obsoleted much sooner than I anticipate.. And I was actually hoping for "Are you working this week?" survey though.. And who wants to know which survey is gonna be there next week?
