As far as the lawyers are concerned, you don't own your software. But at least they don't take your license away for computing while drunk.

Indeed.  Odd that it's one of few industries where they can retain ownership without the liability for defects or detrimental results thereof.  Imagine if leasing a car negated the legal risks for the car companies.  Imagine if medicine that caused you harm were "licensed" to you instead of sold outright, and if doing such would protect the manufacturer from legal retaliation.  Amazing.  Software licensing is a weird beast indeed.

I live and work in southeastern Virginia (USA) wearing too many hats to make sense at my current employer.  I'm responsible for AD/2003 management and scripting, SMS 2003, SUS (hopefully WUS very soon), ASP/SQL development and general scripting magical stuff.  I go for weeks doing nothing but ASP portal development and then turn around and make SMS packages with Wise to do silent installs. Insanity.

I typically get 3 hrs of "family time" after work before going to bed and with a Blackberry ball-and-chain, I rarely get a quiet weekend.  Job security is more like job slavery, but how can I complain with the economy the way it is?  Ok, my bio turned into a whining session.  I apologize.
