Smile | :)
I'm a Co-Op (ie paid intern), which means I cannot get seriously involved in projects lasting more than three months. So, most of the coding projects thrown my way, while still critical and necessary, aren't exactly deadline intensive. Starting the 21st I'm a full time student again until I graduate (in about a year). Then I'll answer "Long hours, but I try to have fun".

Considering the amount of time I have to spend on schoolwork (~50 hrs a week is typical for a Georgia Tech student with my class load), I'll be answering "I have no life" for the next year Smile | :)
