Cathylynn, I'm glad the treatment helped your husband some, and also that the two of you have a bit of time out of the hospital as well.
Booyakasha, sorry about your dad. I can't even imagine that long ordeal.

Not to get too crass but it's dismally obvious how indifferent everyone is to the fact technology work is exhausting.
As long as we're on the subject of no one noticing, the remainder of us build everyone new things & new ideas, all the time, usually for free. That's where all my money goes for example; the future. As such, people into technology for the money mostly refuse to get along with me. Why do we give million dollar ideas away? Because we're not the first ones starving.
I hope this gets pasted around.
Great post. My opinion, for whatever it's worth: I have no problem with either group until they start taking advantage of each other, when one group profits off of the other's generosity.
The other concern, which I deal with in my own career, is when people offer their services at substantially less than what they would need to have a thriving business. These folks lessen the perceived value of creative or other services. I don't blame individuals for this problem, but I do believe it's a problem.
