The sad thing is, I used to love programming. It always felt like a big challenge, like people were depending on me, and not like a job at all. That's all come crashing down with this job I think due to:
a) The job got easier, still hard/tedious, but there's no doubt in my mind I can do it
b) My job now just sucks, it's maintaining an old, horribly written, truly god-awful app written by someone who was obviously an idiot AND didn't give a crap
c) I seem to get bored with stuff every 5 years
d) poker came along.

So the moral is, stay in school, get a skill, do something you love, and it won't suck for at least 5 years.

I used to play at work before I quit. I would play over a VNC connection to my computer at home. I could only single table over that and I was able to play about 10 tournaments a night. That was when I made my most improvements.

Well that would certainly get me fired. Hmmmm.

I've been doing the same thing over break, but haven't put in as much time as I hoped (I didn't play at all the first week). I'm leaving to go to New York with friends Jan 4th, so on Monday I set a goal of about 500 - 600 33s in 8 days (8 tabling). Monday/Tuesday I played 149 total with a 51% ROI. When I get back from New York, I hope to put in another 500 or so in the week before classes start.

Good luck to you... hopefully you can find some of PP's good fortune.
