I'm a lot thinner and less sickly since I ended my 2 x 20oz bottles of 7-up a day habit. There are a lot of Soundfonts online. I got to get that Cakewalk dealie, or a least the best version of Soundblaster. I collected some guitar loops. I would have made more progress if I'd stayed with one career, but sometimes having several is an advantage.
Consultant is the vaguest job title.
I worked in Portland a market research company. I was a knife sharpener for a year, saws, too. Mostly as a surveyor. A lot as a site engineer for general contractors. I worked on FidoNet in the early 90's just before the Internet went public.
