I was thinking someone would say 24:

“Because my Web design career takes up all 24 hours of my day and no one is allowed to sleep, eat or take a bathroom break.”

26 Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit

Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit

And yes, my career has been the disturbingly abused and brutally assaulted victim at the beginning of the show who comes back to testify against the criminal [company] in the last ten minutes even though the criminal’s lawyer [client services representative] get’s them off on an insanity plea.

Predictably unpleasant, morally horrifying, and on every day of the week. Cheers!

29 24

Great article… I think I may still follow the advice about having something to talk about during lunch :-) Anyways….

The show 24 is like my web career. I wait till the last minute to work on a project. It ends up that the project is due tomorrow, and I only have a day to complete it. This means working non stop for what seems like 24 hours straight. Like the show 24, I get other things thrown into the mix which adds to the pressure.

30 Seinfeld - He has

My job is all about “hand”. I do all of the design and then redesign and implementation, but my boss always winds up with his “hand” on top of it telling me to change it…
