I love your selection at the top. Office life is like World of Warcraft. "Hail Programmer. I need you to develop five web pages and then return to me for one case of Mt. Dew." I would like to add that sometimes fun can be determined by the project. I can hate my job, but love some of my projects. :-) Great article. I love your selection at the top.

The killer: Fixing/adding to legacy code or being forced to use uber-complex tools and frameworks. Work is what you make of it, even if that means sometimes being political and opinionated.
