Because (a) you aren't needed often enough to be an FTE, and (b) FTEs
are too hard to let go when they aren't needed anymore.

You must be new to the "real world".

The lusers who work 8-5 M-F (and whom are more numerous and more
powerful than you) don't want to have their networks disrupted by cable
monkeys rooting around their desks and offices while said lusersgo about
their own business.

Thus, the only time to do disruptive stuff is from 18:00-07:00 M-F and
Sa-Su.

You work when the person offering the job wants you to work. Or start
your own company and work for yourself. Or go on welfare and complain
about having to look for a job.
