The sound penetrates the usual quiet of my office.

“Sandy is snoring again,” I comment to my co-worker.

My co-worker hates noise; so I’m sure he noticed the intrusion.

Sandy, another co-worker, is indeed snoring. And, while we may mind it, there’s nothing we can do about it because our boss instructed Sandy to snore.

I work for a company that produces software for sleep labs, and Sandy is actually using a snore simulator to test software loaded on a monitoring device. The software tracks things like leg movements, snoring, heart-rate, etc. In short, it tracks anything that influences how a patient sleeps.

I, on the other hand, am not paid to snore. I should be so lucky.

I am paid to write software. Luckily, I love software. I am a geek who loves playing with computers and gadgets. You won’t find me too heavily entrenched in any camp in a Mac vs Windows vs Linux debate either. I love playing with whatever is the newest out there.
