[OT] Extra time spent

[Chris via Digitalmars-d]

Reading through Adam's book at home made me think about how much 
time I've spent reading / learning / thinking about programs 
outside the office. I read TDPL in my spare time. I checked out 
things in the D Cookbook in my spare time and applied them the 
next day, like loads of other things about programming and actual 
programs. I guess most people here have similar experiences. The 
issue is that most employers don't really appreciate this. Are we 
mad or just passionate?
