 Managed, or interpreted?
(I guess I'm really showing my ignorance?)

5 years ago, I'd thought I'd have left IT by now. I'm still here. I go through phases where I think it is time to move on, but they do eventually pass.

For the first time ever I'm first to vote: I'll be here in five years.
For your viewing pleasure, and for no other reason than I've got nothing better to do at 05:13 AM, here are some photos from DDD3 and the Geek Dinner[^]

If I win the lottery I'll definitely be here in 5 years (but as the head of a company)

When I was younger I had the same thought, but now I have a family, I think I'll opt out and enjoy the money and time with my family.

One day the powerball will just waft across my path and slap me in the face. While removing it I will receive a papercut that damages my pretty face and while despairing in the loss I will trip and fall over an open pit breaking both of my legs. Then on further examination, while in the hospital, it is determined that the powerball ticket was not a winner. And then I will have to rely on the paltry sum I shall gather from the liabilty lawsuits against the lottery company for the paper cut and the construction company for the open pit. Neverminding the fact that I was trespassing and blindfolded.

Sounds more likely then winning the lottery.

It is more than that; they often kill the quality as well.
