Sometiems, after two or three weeks of hardcore coding, my boss will call me down to his office just to check on me. He'll say things like "Haven't heard from you in a while" "Just wondering how things were going, and if we're seeing any progress" "Where've ya been?"

To whit my usual reply is "I've been in my cube doing what you pay me for, things are going forward, hence all the work, and I'd be doing fine without all these interruptions"

And I continued to get paid, and the work gets done. He stopped asking to see daily progress reports years ago, and now is happy with his once a month Operating Report.

The point of my story? We might not be hearing from them because they're working, and the work isn't all that easy.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
