In my case i work from 9 to 5:30, apple store is three blocks from me, so i waited three days from 7 to 9 to get my ipad, first two days apple rep told us no ipad at 8:15, third day i struck gold and got my ipad by 9:15,i was 15 mins late but that was cool.
I didn't have to wait in line...

Things are slow just right this second, but it's early, and it's "black tuesday"*

I'm currently a Nursing Student at Millikin University. My spring break and vacation was last week (planned before iPad 2). I didn't stand in line, I purchased online when launched. I work pt. as a LPN at St. Marys Hospital in my town.

some people have cool jobs like my wife. limited hours, lots of telecommuting, and working from home. also helps she works near a mall and can go there at lunch. a lot of times she's home by 3 and just finishes her work via vpn
i took off most of last week without using PTO and just VPN'd the entire day
a lot of people have jobs that give them days off during the week. my building's doorman works his hours in 3-4 days and the rest of the time he's off. my wife's has been offered jobs where you work 12 hours a day for 4 days and get 3 days off. a lot of people work per diem and visit patients/clients all day and don't stay in an office

Some people find it fun, it's a hobby. But yeah, I don't know why the people that obviously don't enjoy it, subject themselves to it.
