I have an Associates in Electronics. I graduated just as the recesion reared it's ugly head in the early '90's. With nothing else to do, I cleaned carpet for 20 years. I have dabbled in computers and programming in A86 but never got too deep into them.

Let's just say I know enough to mess up everything I touch if I'd let myself...

I was a carpet cleaner for about 20 years. Cleaned all over Chicagoland. I was a regular for Dennis DeYoung for about 6 years. Kept to himself mostly, but friendly. He had a dog that he named Lady. His house was pretty big. His bedroom, also huge, had a big master bathroom. To the right of that was a couple of stairs then a small hallway and at the end of that hallway was a room, a literal apartment sized room that was her closet! To the left of the master bathroom was another door, his closet. Open that and I could stick my hand in it and reach the end of his closet. Always struck me funny. Another thing that struck me funny was in his kid's bedroom, there was a form letter from Mike Schmidt. A form letter. From Mike Schmidt to the son of Dennis DeYoung.

I also delivered a hand washed rug roll to Bonnie Hunt. Very friendly.

Or they repeat themselves because that's all they know what to say. Parroting because they read/heard something that, in their small world view, they agree with and don't take the time to research.
