Are you looking for a job by any chance? I promise you'll have the opportunity to produce great things for extremely mediocre compensation. That's what you want, right?
Are you hiring? I can work for minimum wage.
I give a shit, want a paycheck, _and_ want a life outside of work.

It's completely possible to want fair hours while also caring. And, like many commenters, I'm frustrated with employers that want more than a third of my waking existence.
