This is true, but Friday afternoons in IT are also the worst because it’s always:
“Oh yeah, I forgot to mention [some problem that’ll take 10 hours to solve].”
Or, “Could you just [also some problem that’ll take 10 hours to solve].”
Even though IT people are paid well, it’s also seen as a labor of love so normals and MBA types think they are doing us a favor, often, by dropping two days of work on us on Friday at 5:30PM. Used to, I’d just do it but these days I refuse to most of the time.
But that’s one of the benefits of being both senior and really good at my job.
