can't complain. Also as some IT guys will attest, you don't need to be in the office often. Work remotely most days.

Supposed to be on my PC at 7:30, wake up at 7:29 and my laptop is right there.

I actually think most white collar jobs are paid well enough but taxes, direct and indirect, along with all the crooks that pass laws which enable the DMV, gas company, electric comp, water comp to jack up your rates at will. I recently learned something very disturbing about how the water district is controlled and run. It's a huge joke on us working stiffs.
