    I work in IT as a keyboard monkey. 11pm-7am PST. Hours suck for a social life. It's great for the gym though.

    I must be tired, I have an image of an IT professional having to wear a gorilla suit to work. I really need that coffee

    I know that "social life" is a non-factor for me as well.
