"It's OK, you'll be a technical manager, that means you can still code and do interesting things."

Turns out it means getting pulled into meetings by surprise, which kills everything.

Or being sheduled for 50 minute meetings starting at 9a, 11a, 1p and 2p... ya know, Nothing is going to get done.

My first language was Basic, then assembly, then Pascal, then a bazillion other languages.

Right now I'm enjoying Powershell... I'm not writing major apps, I'm getting work done. It's a shell language so I can do quickie stuff without having to shift gears. But I can incorporate C# and all the .Net stuff and generate some really useful UIs quickly.
