Lately it seems I spend my day formatting C:, reloading Windows, then an hour or two chasing down drivers for crap hardware they can't be bothered bringing or finding, on the phone with customer who can't log on because we have poor service,(I have George telenet onto server, check their logon and tell them to turn off caps key or something similar) getting thanked with an OH ok. Trying to explain why a PI with 16mb is having stability problems when they have Sysworks,Realplayer,Bonzai Buddy,MSM,AIM,ICQ,Live Update,and whatever on their start menu. Getting 50 questions of free tech support thrown at me while troubleshooting the next system. All in a days work i guess. At least the guys I work for are really good to me.

I'm also a father. My son just turned 1yr old yesterday.

I work as a software developer too. Right now I am working on a Run-Time System which is basically the same thing as a micro-kernel for an operating system.

Formerly in the military.. US Army Special Forces. Currently work as a registered rep for the brokerage side of a large bank. I've come to the conclusion that both are very highly overrated job positions (notice i didn't say career).
