Some really interesting 2-x guys on the board here. I could see running some in 10-teamers in the right situations, too.

Do you ever bust your ass to finish your work super early so you can have a night on the couch watching tv w/your gf and go to bed early only to not hit the publish button and end up posting that piece the following morning?
