Ok, here’s the job description, I’ll let you guys figure out what the job is… and then for fun guess the pay.
-16 hour days
-probably get alarms 2-3x per night
-alarms and issues are really hard to solve, no real manual available, mostly trial and error
-on the job training only… no real prep or training available
-tons of advice and criticism but no real help
-massive physical and emotional stress… people’s lives are in your hands
-lots of your job is cleaning up other people’s messes
-if you do your job great, you can change the world… if you do your job really badly, you can cost society millions

Parent! Mom or Dad. That sounds like every day I have on top of being the bane of your existence (a Product Manager)

well, I was going to say mother, can’t say I’m getting up 2-3x every night with our newborn… but poor Erin is these days now that he’s teething. But I know some dads are better about this stuff than I.

My wife had a c-section and I was up along side my wife to help both of them every feed for the first month or so! Man, I don’t think I was ever more tired!
Just wait to the terrible twos Dan. That’s what we are enjoying now. No matter what though…my daughter and my wife are still my greatest legacies.
Enjoy every moment.
