I had the 'Office Space' experience for 5 years after college. First job was at a University campus, first time I had a cell phone for work. The boss was like a wimpier, more lame version of Lumberg. He would call and ask my location, I'd be at the pool hall gambling until he called and asked where I was. I'd tell him I was on the other side of campus and I'd be there in a few minutes. I lasted 4 years there before moving on to a desk job building networks for a company contracted to to the state. There I was locked in a server room for a year before I was released to work from home. I gigged at night and on weekends in studios and as backup instrumentation, which was more important to me even if it didn't pay as well. So I lasted a total of 10 years before I said screw my retirement fund and cashed everything in to build my recording studio and play daddy@home.
