Re: Quick, it's the boss!

So I've never hit the boss-key to hide my video games.

Did you?

I remember back in the days reading some article, interview or blog
back when the net was really a bastion of creative freedom that went
unstifled.  Not being able to find that article now with the current
state of filtered-media, I don't remember if it was Carmack or Romero
or someone else involved with Doom/Quake or some other early game who
said it, but the gist of it was that the "boss key" was designed for
anyone scared to see what they were doing, especially their wife. 

And I thought to myself, what a sorry fucking life it must take for
some coward to be afraid his wife might see what he's really doing...
lol

So yeah, I never really had a boss since I was in highschool and
worked a few odd jobs for fun and to meet cute waitresses. I've been
self-employed since the mid 80's and I nevered answered to anyone and
thus never had a reason to be scared of a pimp that might slap me
around.  I created my own success and if they don't like what they see
in my behavior, there's the door.

I was never stupid enough to try to load a game on a clients
network/domain/vpn or whatever simply becaused I'm sort of focused by
default.. I've always had a clear line in my head on what is play time
and what is work time and that line was always very simple and clear.
I like to be good at what I do, and that's why I charge a premium...
it gives me the edge over guys that would play games at work or jerk
off to porn or whatever and I probably wouldn't have my current
nestegg without that discipline level.
