I'm very interested in my company's product, but I don't think I would
follow the topic on more than a cursory level if I weren't working here.
Mostly, my interest is because I want to see our product in use in hospitals
where I or my family & friends might use. Our software and medication depots
is for hospitals and is geared towards reducing medication errors; since I
started working here it's been scary to read the literature in the field on
medication errors that occur!
The only sense that my work is my hobby is that I love working with
computers and gadgets. I have a hobby web site and newsletter; I sometimes
do work for Toronto Digital Eve (sometimes volunteer, sometimes paid).
