Who works 9-5?

I never had a job where I worked 9-5

8-6 minimum plus any unpaid overtime required to get the job done by 
release date. Then there are the nights (or small part thereof) spent in 
the company flat sleeping on the floor because some suit said we could 
do so and so by such and such and now we are working until we drop while 
he sleeps at home with his wife, or mistress.

Then there's the time spent crammed up against some herbert who could do 
with a bath, on an overcrowded train, waiting for the upline to become 
available and swotting up for the latest Java certification.

Or spending your weekends getting your head around some shitty new 
framework that some twat decided was the latest greatest waste of time 
that would look good on his CV, whilst your kids are growing up and you 
are missing the best time of their lives.

Or trying to learn some pointlessly complicated XML at 11.00pm on a 
weeknight, or ... or ... or ...

9-5 developers?
No such thing.
