Me: "Why are you working day and night?"
Christopher: "We're shipping our product in two weeks."
Me: "What, you are? That's wonderful! That must be very exciting for you."
Christopher: "From the outside, the observer is always talking about how exciting it is. But ask the person who is launching in two weeks 'Are you excited?' and they'll say, 'No, I want to kill myself and everyone around me.'"
Huh. When I "launch" (the industry I work in is a little different), it is gruelling, but I don't remember homicidal rage. Certainly an intense desire to be done with it. Come to think of it, it probably helps (for me) that I haven't been a programmer for years and years; they generally have it rougher.
