I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ll ever have a chance to catch up and be a productive member of the programming world again, and that makes me a bit sad. I wouldn&#8217;t trade the time I have at home with my kids (even after days like today), but that doesn&#8217;t mean I don&#8217;t miss the thrill of programming. <em>*sigh*<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And now you ask where such a randon post came from.
