dotcoms
I just saw this funny t-shirt on ThinkGeek. While on the subject, I'd also like to point out that I didn't go for dotcom work to cash in on options. It was more of the casual work environment than anything else.
Before the dotcoms, I was working in a medium-sized corporation for 2 years, and I believe the movie Office Space was based on my experience there. Considering my current work situation, I really don't care where I work now, as I've been at both ends of the work environment scale. I just want work that won't bore me to death.
In the words of the ultimate badass, Mr. T, "I need work!!"
