I have the best job
At least that's what Money magazine says in it's list of the Top 10 Best Jobs. And I am inclined to agree, although like any job some parts are more fun than others. Still, I'm not surprised that I love my job, since it was my hobby long before I ever thought I'd end up doing it professionally. (And, as this site and DietTracker show, it still is my hobby too!)
What is surprising to me is that anyone else would rank it #1 (excluding other software engineers of course)—geek culture is not always understood by the masses. Besides, this is after all the exact job parodied in Office Space, the song Code Monkey, and Dilbert's field of electronics engineering is nearly the same thing. But at the end of the day I get to play with expensive computers all day, finding creative ways to solve problems, and producing something that makes life easier for people. All in a day's work :-)
