Job Satisfaction Rates
It took a little while to find it, but I did. The Conference Board recently released details on a study about job satisfaction that are really interesting. Hopefully the link will work and not expire. One of the choice selection of data in the piece:
The largest decline in overall job satisfaction, from 60.9% to 49.2%, occurred among workers 35-44. The second largest decline took place among workers aged 45-54, with the satisfaction level dropping from 57.3% to 47.7%. The smallest decline occurred among workers 65 and over. Overall job satisfaction declined from 60.8% to 58.0%, making this group the most satisfied with their jobs.

Bad Programmer
To the team of Apple engineers who developed the Quicktime API for accessing information... bad programmers! No pizza and beer for you!
To the team of Apple engineers who documented the Quicktime API for accessing information... bad programmers! No pizza and beer for you!
To the team of Apple engineers who developed the Quicktime file format, we have extra pizza and beer available for you.
In case it's not obvious, I've been trying to build an application that can convert to/from a Quicktime MooV file. Originally I thought using the API would be best, but it seems that it will be easier just to fopen the file and parse it using the definition of the QT file format. On the flipside, this will make dorking with a MPEG4 file format a lot simpler for me. I'd still like to know how to get, or why I can't get, the root atom I'm looking for. It fails with absolutely no error.
