He forgot to shave his legs....

Men don't shave their legs this far north

Though it sounds like corporate gaming with people's livelihoods is the order of the day I hope at least your "overlords" (goodness, that sounds ominous!!) realise the dedication you have to your field of endeavour! I bet there are not so many women doing what you are doing? Or maybe that is an old view? Oh and can I ask you about something too please Carol? I asked this recently and it was suggested that you would know about it... http://www.fema.gov/news/newsrelease.fema?id=55722 Does this emergency test in a few days include internet providers?

The corporate overlords refers to the company I left My current company is made up of some pretty good folks, and they think I'm a rock star

As far as the emergency test, no it doesn't include internet providers. The Emergency Alert System used to be called the Emergency Broadcast System, it applies to US TV/Radio only.

Well ya know, the other Linux admin there is also a guitarist from Berklee. I'm just trying to fit in here

Or as I like to say, 20 percent of the R&D division is Berklee grads

I used to be more of a guitarist, but I have since been seduced

My main instrument at Berklee was guitar (you have to focus on a single instrument) but I played some bass on the side. I had an (independent of school) bass teacher for awhile, I was determined to actually be a bass player and not just a guitarist who knows the notes on the neck, if ya know what I mean. My bass rig (Washburn, Trace Elliot) was stolen from a Boston jingle shop in the 1990s, and after that I didn't have much desire to keep it going.

But, things change. A friend of mine asked me to play guitar in his band....I get there to find he is playing guitar, his buddy is also playing guitar, and I'm playing guitar. I see a Squier bass on the wall of the practice space and ask if I can play, they said sure, and I caught the bug all over again. So, now I play an Ibanez Craigslist Deluxe and a borrowed Hartke. Small steps but its so good to be playing again

I actually sent the tape and passed the audition to Berklee but went to a regular college instead. Made lifelong friends up there though and was up at Berklee every couple weekends.
