Ever so occasionally; much less than with my last job (where I got it a lot, and I was right). I suspect most people do, and most people in start-up companies do often.
It had started as a really good week, and then I got in this morning and the project I had been working on for days is apparently not at all what the investor wanted. And now people are pestering me for all the stuff that I was supposed to do this week and didn't because of the big project. It's not a good day.
I *hate* stuff like that. Happened to me all the time as an intern, and as far as I could tell it was no different for the real engineers. People always change their minds and render all your hard work useless.
Sometimes, but I realize that ultimately it is a means towards an end. No matter what project I work on, I always learn something new, come away from it a little smarter, a little more experienced. I plan on using all that someday to accomplish something very unbelievably awesome to advance civilization and the body of knowledge!
