I did that briefly, but not sure anyone ever found out. It was only a couple of weeks. I swear.
Stingray:

Harry Potter:

Generally, when I go back to where I used to live, I get asked the same question:
How did you end up in the career/job you have?
They never seem to think it's because I worked ---my bottom--- off for years. The expected answer is always "oh, I knew a guy who knew a guy" or something like that. Never that I worked ---my bottom--- off in college or slept on porches and in my car so that I could do the best of internships to get where I am.
It saddens me a bit, actually, to see how few of my friends from back in the day have even moved out of their parents' houses as they run up on 30.

I have a friend that works at RIM as a senior software programmer. He's easily making 6 figures and he still lives at home. It's a Greek parent thing... They can never let go...
