Yes. Actually most programmers I work with seem to be 9-5ers without any passion. I am a 9-5er with some passion about the languages and tools I use.

I guess I'd just like the distinction that not living and breathing code doesn't equal a lack of passion. I'm passionate about programming. Can't say I ever was about washing dishes. They were both jobs, though, and when I get off work, there are other things I want to do.

There are other things outside of work that I am more passionate about. But programming can be interesting, and pays the bills.
