Dear Log,

As much as allnighters programming (or writing) are considered common in the biz, I'm getting a bit old for such things now.

I need a walker and a comfy chair, and an AARP membership!!


All-nighters are hella lame

Coffee! You can sleep when you're dead!. I think I'm older than both of you put together so if I can drive to st. louis and back in a weekend without much sleep, you guys shouldn't whine about an all-nighter :) I'll have to send y'all a box of depends and efferdent soon.

Don't forget to also send us some Gold Bond Medicated Powder, and some slacks where the waist comes up to my neck. And one of those little 0-shaped plastic changepurses that ya pinch to open up, so I can keep my coins someplace.

Also: Matlock, on betamax tapes.

Feh! In my day, we didn't have "all nighters." We couldn't leave work ever! After learning to crawl around as little babies, we'd be stuck to doing tech support until we were aged 6 years. And then we'd do QA for another ten years. There was no "teevee" or "birthday parties" or "french kissing." We didn't have time! We had to work three shifts a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY!

All-Nighters

I did my share of those in college for the newspaper, back when I was a journalist. Then I became a programmer, after I married, and I decided that such things are bad for married life. No more, I vowed. I do the occasional late-nighter, but I plan them in advance. :-)
