Now: I work in scientific publications, how in the hell did I get here?!

I wanted to be in a Funk band. Like the Commodores or EWF. Play funk onstage with one of those synths with the guitar neck and wear those costumes with the big shoulder pads n'shit.

At that time, there were no routers or servers or WAN's. I became a network engineer. Now there are no more grimy funk bands. Well, not that anyone goes to stadiums to see.
