Life As Code

For all you ComputerScience students, here is a code-reading exercise demonstrating what you have to look forward to in your career.

 for (int today = 0; today <= days_to_live; ++today)

     if (currently_employed(today))
     {
         if (is_weekend_or_holiday(today))
         {
             go_to_work();
             if (boss_is_in_office(today))
                 work(8 + overtime_hours(today));
             else
                 work(8 - random_number_of_hours());
             go_home();
             sleep(necessary_sleep_per_day());
         }
         else
         {
             go_to_work();
