I work 7:30-4 M-F with some overtime here and there. I do compliance testing for electronic devices and our customers generally don't like working any later than 4:30.

We also get lunch ordered for us at no charge every day. It's a really great perk except that it's making me fat.

Also this is from the first page, but this:

I've noticed that the more money someone has the more they think that is "normal." Tech people in the Bay Area earning $250k act like that is a normal middle class income for a 25 yr old and if you point out that is in the top 5% of incomes they look confused and dopey and cock their head sideways like a dog

Is absolutely true regardless of where you live. Ten years ago I talked with the mother of one of my friends, a critical care RN who makes 100-150k in MN, about my post college plans. She was completely dumbfounded that I was going to rent an apartment ("you're just throwing your money away!"), that I didn't have a down payment saved up ("oh that's easy to do!"), and that I couldn't buy a new car with cash only like she did.
