All,

My first job was Static Discharge Tester at a sweater factory.  The pay wasn't good, but I got a charge out of it.  Man, was I glad when they upgraded from wool to raylon.

All kidding aside, the Busboy to Software Developer fits me to a tee; as if it was custom made for my situation.  Thanks Beverly!
