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!

I've been doing little more than surfing the web the past few days, since the two attorneys who've given me assignments are out of town. Grr.

Nothing any of us do actually matters to the Universe. But that's ok, because we get to have fun anyway.
