I was Wegman's corporate guitarist a few decades ago and they treated me great and it was an awesome job. I've never met anyone else who felt that way. I worked for one of their biggest regions. I worked for corporate as a consultant for a year and a half and @andyw worked there too, also in IT. I was a consultant and it wasn't bad, I was able to name my price and work things out so that the job was okay - I literally worked with no one so it was just be making big bucks (2004 - 2005, $85/hr.) But the internal IT people, they were almost in tears every day. That job was so awful. In the department that @andyw was in, it was literally just people sitting around scrolling up and down on their computers because they had one policy that said that they could never stop working to do anything but "write code" and another policy that said that they were forbidden to do any proactive work that was not assigned and since the company was so disorganized that they could never assign work the whole department was caught in a limbo of being forbidden to talk or anything, while being forbidden to work. So they had to "look like they were working" but had to ensure that they created no actual work.
"corporate guitarist"???
Yup, salaried classical guitarist. It was an awesome job.
That ain't not bad.
It wasn't bad, it was one of those really awesome points in my life that I'm really proud of. I gave it up to move to Pittsburgh with NTG.
That's the depressing part. If I ever had an opportunity to be a salaried musician, you'd have to kill me to get me to stop. And I'd gladly kill and/or maim to keep such a position.

Carpal tunnel. I know it wasn't going to last for forever. I had a good run as a guitarist and trombonist and had medical issues that made both hard to keep going on. I kind of burned out, medically at least. I got to do some amazing stuff over a five year period in both instruments, some international work, studio work, and even got to work in music management and production with Greg Lake and ELP (and lots of local small time artists.) It was really cool, but it was time to move on.

Heck, you don't even need a left hand! You can duct tape a butter knife to a stump. And, it makes a pretty cool prosthesis.

I love Hyper-V... but I pretty much hate WinRM with CredSSP and HTTPS.
Hyper-V can be installed and configured in about 10 minutes, but getting WinRM to work in a non-domain or cross-domain environment ...

Probably headed to South Main Kitchen for a nice lunch today.

Making fish sticks for the kids.

One of my favorite ramen add-ons is a small sheet of toasted nori seaweed. You can get them at regular grocery stores now, usually labeled as "seaweed snacks" and like 79 cents.

Curious... I'll have to try that.. I picked up some salted seaweed snacks a few months ago.. was decently okay...
Trying out different things when I feel up to it to add to the hiking/backpacking list of sustainable foods...

I found that I liked them better in a broth than as a snack, but that's me. Out on the trail, you could take a few and whip up a quick, very Asian-y tasting broth over a campfire. And seaweed is very nutritious, lots of trace minerals.
edit: the ones I had were labeled "roasted seaweed snack".

Made fish sticks for the kids . They ate SO many of them. And just a toasted cheese sandwich for me. Things are getting pretty basic with Dominica gone for several days already.
