Why not work around the clock if you don't have a home?
In our new digs, everyone got smaller offices. It's harder to make room for
the futons, but we do have showers. I'm thinking that offices in software
companies need some sort of pullman type bed that folds down from the wall;
an equipment rack; so we can get the computers out from under the desk and
make cables easy to get to; and last standalone, backup A/C units, so when
the building HVAC stops working, we would still have A/C.
If they made it comfortable enough they could reduce our pay. And, if they
fed us, they could eliminate our salaries and pay us only in stock options.

Wow! - $20/hour can by a nice house in a solid middle-class neighborhood
here in beautiful Cleveland Ohio.
Ya know, I recently did a fairly extensive survey of on-line jobs
(especially www.dice.com). I did not find that Silicon Valley paid a lot
more than other places.

As a recent news story reported a single bedroom apartment in the Valley can
start at, yes I said start, $1000/month. Plus utilities. Many pepole live in
their cars and the shelters are full every night with people who make $20/hr
and more, but still can't afford rent and everything that goes with it.
