Whenever I indulge in a little self-pity over whatever, I remind myself that I haven't had to sit in a cubicle for more than 17 years.
I still remember the '90s when Seattle-area tech companies were so desperate for programmers that they started encouraging people to take their dogs to work.
I walked out of an interview one time when on an office tour and some nameless manager pointed out, with pride, that Scruffy spent the day near his desk. Meanwhile, Scruffy proudly pointed out, just about on cue, that he could mark his territory with the best of 'em.
