1. Why computer work is fun for you?

I'm an information junkie. Remembering is hard for me, while I'm good at looking things up. With a computer, looking up is much faster and easier. I can get customer information instantly when I'm on the phone, and I can find all kinds of information without needing to go to a library.

2. Why programming is fun for you?

Because I can tell the computer what to do. Usually, I tell it to help me look information up.

3. Why programming perl is fun for you?

Perl's syntax and flexibility match the way I think, so Perl usually DWIM. I'm lazy, so I like re-using code. Especially other people's code :)
