Heaven is full of computers

Ok, I don't believe in heaven, but if there was one, it would be full of computers...

So Diego asked me to help him with his "job", the one he had before his actual job, haha. He's doing this web application to manage loans and stuff to a local company, and he has been doing it for about a year, and I gotta tell you, he's got some talent, I mean, the language he's using (Ruby on Rails), he learned how to use it pretty much by himself, and he's managed to do some pretty nice stuff. I've always wanted to be part of it, but never really have had anytime to learn that language (or maybe I just haven't really wanted to, haha, stupid videogames), but yeah, yesterday he asked me to help him to test it out and help him with little blocks of code, to clean it up a little, not a lot of creative stuff, but when he started teaching me the basics, we started coming up with ideas and modifications and things to implement, and without knowing we spent like 5 straight hours (not bathroom breaks, no food, no nothing), tweaking the code and we did pretty good, so he asked me to help him on a regular basis, btw, those hours will be paid, so yeah :D.

I knew this since like, 5 years, but yeah, it is now reaffirmed, I do not want to do anything that doesn't relate to programming, I enjoy it so fucking much, plus I'm getting paid for it, there's just nothing better, well, it would be better if that job was a videogame, but hey, step by step. You hear so often people say or write "my job is so fucking boring" or "I'm sick of work", etc, it starts to get into your brain little by little, and more so if your current job really is boring (like mine is). But man, if my job is as fun as this, hell, I would do it without getting paid...well, not really, I do need to eat and buy stuff, but yeah, if there was a heaven, it would be full of computers...
