That commenter was me, and I didn't mean it at all in the sense of "normal" people being "inferior", it was simply an observation. The majority of people will finish work at 5-6pm, then go to the pub (or to some other social activity, or home). That's not a good or a bad thing, it's just how it is. But if you want to be a part of "mainstream" social life, then a profession that often keeps odd hours is probably not for you, was my point.

Hands up who's rolled into the office at lunchtime and hacked through 'til 3am... Would you trade that for 9-5 in a blue suit?
