<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

First off, I'm a programmer. I like to design and build my own programs. But that's not my job - my job is to sit at my desk and investigate problems regarding servers, as sent to me via e-mail. 

Now though, I've gotten a very quiet, discreet invite from my boss to join a programming side project. Supposedly short term, but it could be an excellent way to pad my resume and help earn myself a raise, so I accepted. But i was asked not to tell anyone else in our team, save the two others who were invited. That seemed reasonable - no need to create resentment for getting a change of pace. 

However, I've been making discreet inquiries about the subject of our programming project, and it sounds like this "short term" project could last quite some time. Now I'm nervous - it sounds like it could eat quite a bit of my time, and I have a 4-month-old daughter to help take care of. At the same time, I won't deny we could use the money.
