Ah so you're a consultant. That makes sense then. I was thinking you were a 9-5 FTE in some magical industry.

No, I work for a company that is often a subcontractor, often an OEM, and occasionally a lead.I work the standard 40. I wouldn't describe the industry as magical. It is more like a layer of corruption and nepotism covering actual productive work.

Still, the work is steady and I will never be unemployed.
