Gotta keep those $10 watch manufacturers in business, eh?

Yep, I love my world traveler, even though I rarely travel. Bought it because I liked the look of the Titanium. Still usually wear my $60 Casio G-Shock quite a bit, pretty much indestructible.
The part I like best is the perpetual calendar. The titanium case is nice too.

That is the reason I still have and frequently use the G-Shock. I used to be very rough on crystals, and the G-Shock has a raised plastic bezel. It is one of the most commonly used by much of the Military. My brother, who was Airborne Ranger as a commissioned officer back in the 80's is the one that first told me about them.

I was a programmer, then took a job as an IT manager for a smaller company of 35 people that drew in about $100 million dollars a year. I realized I had a much better job and job lifespan and much more enjoyment as a programmer. Mainly because of issues like this I went back as a Programmer/Analyst for Siemens (the third largest company in the world, not the mattress maker) who had way to many managers and not enough employees in our area. After 5 years, my management tried and convince me to go back and finish up my degree so I could (or would not be able to) "move into a management position" until I did so. I guess through all the restructuring they had not realized that was why I left my prior position until I told them that was all the incentive I needed to not go back and get my degree.
So this does come from a bit of life experience from middle to upper management.

I got away from the majority of it when we moved up here about 5 years ago, but it was likely more a matter of getting burned out on the big corporation theory as opposed to the programming aspects. I was also in the healthcare division as Siemens doing Radiology Software. I actually did alot of work creating interfaces with the GE PACS systems at the time. Like you said, it is 100% all the time, although it only made it more difficult when you realize they are making $255 an hour for your work (6 years ago), paying you peanuts in comparison, then saying that you need to make up time for your vacation because that puts you below the 98% billable threshold that they expect after vacations, sick time or what have you.
