In 1992 I was working for the Dept. of Economic development (as a contractor from AMG), and we had nothing but trouble with the Ka9q router NSTN had installed. I forget the details, but I finally got [[Mike_Martineau?]] and the customer support guy into a meeting. I don't remember the support guys name... Ken maybe? Anyway, we had a great beginning to the meeting, but then I simply cut loose and railed on Mike about how horrid NSTN's customer support was, then proceeded in the most arrogant of tones to tell him how it SHOULD be run.
In the hallway after the meeting Mike offered me a position running customer support for NSTN.
When I arrived we were still in a back conference room at SK. We were Margaret (accountant), [[Jay_Parsons?|Jay]], [[Jim_Saunders?]], the support guy, [[Rick_Ballard?]], and Mike Martineau. I sat at a table in a hallway, and had to buy my own computer. There were a lot of late nights spent at that table in the hallway. It was a startup in the truest sense of the word- We believed we were changing the world, and to be quite frank (and maybe a little arrogant) I feel like the people on this list did change the world.
[[Gail_Wheaton?|Gail]] arrived once we moved down the block into NSTN's own space. Gail was an admin, but I don't think she was an accountant.
Then came Lana Wood and [[Mike_Dow?]], Mike Dinn, and Paula... That's when the good times really started to roll, so of course I bailed and went to Bermuda to help build their ISP. :)
Ah, those were the days... ;D

I live in a cardboard box in Wash Park. Mom says I can always come home and live in the basement again, but I'm more independent than that now that I have had a taste of freedom. So long as x she continues to do my laundry everything is cool. My friends would describe me as needy, obnoxious, sedentary, and emotionally unbalanced. I have 8 kids, but the good thing is most of them are in juvie. My dog, also known as "The Prince of Darkness" eats small terriers and all things prada. Don't worry, your knockoff Fendi's that you got for 50% off (you cheap hussy) are safe- he won't eat such junk, or anything from last season. The dog, thankfully is on parole so at least he can bring in some income. The kids that aren't in San Quentin or county lockup work in the salt mines if one of their mothers is in rehab and can't handle them. Salt mines don't pay so good. most of my clothes need a permit from the DOE they're so bright. I have an acute case of Multiple Personality Disorder, which is great for you because you'll never be bored. It's great for me because every time I need to go to the DMV I just swap in a personality I don't like. Besides playing video games I read comi. er. "Graphic Novels" and get all my news from Fox and Ann Coulter. I am easy to cook for- I'll eat anything as long as it's fried in some manner that completely obliterates the food item's original identity. My roommates don't clean much so I don't either. Since the roomies spend most of their time at NA meetings, or binging, they really aren't much of a bother. The last girl I dated called me "socially awkward" but I don't really understand what that means. She let the restraining order expire, however, so I guess it's back on. I don't think she really truly loves jesus though. Physically I am a tall, dark and handsome Jewish boy. well, so long as you're deaf, dumb, and blind. Seriously I'm not that ugly- Eventually Mom could stop having to tie pork chops around my ears to get the dog to play with me- It had resigned itself to it's fate.
Looking for a lawyer, or other rich professional that can fill out her jeans in a way I find appealing. You must also promise not to touch my shrine to Burton Cummings, the greatest soul-rocker ever. Other than that I'm pretty open minded. Well... You shouldn't have an ass the size of texas.
Oh, and no dancers please. Y'all are pretty but you're fun for a very limited period of time.

I don't know if I mentioned this to the list, but they carted me out the front door of my house on a stretcher, screaming like a little girl- I (finally) blew my L4-L5 disk so badly that they had to go and dig it out. So it started with six months of inactivity due to searing back pain, then back surgery, and now life seems to be just getting in the way. I'm thinking of moving to Boulder, and simply living with the commute. On the plus side, the back has recovered to nearly 100% of pre-injury levels, and with my HMO it cost me $15. Unfortunately my metabolism switched back to sedentary mode, and I have recovered my titanic gut. Well, it's not that big, but I can no longer run for three hours. I've made a commitment to myself to do an Ironman in 08. We'll see how reality pans out...
Still at ebay, still in Denver, and still thinking about moving to New Zealand, but not very hard. :)
