Wow, your job is EXACTLY like mine.

Thanks Lawre. That put a smile on my face. :-) On a bit of a downer here.
I just do the embedded/digital stuff as a little hobby.

Hmm, but I usually get the downers on a Sunday, not a Saturday!

Back on-topic, I'm sure I've told this story before, but here goes
again: Back in Oz, I used to go out once every few months with a bunch
of consultants and a sort of "consultant finder" guy. Basically, he
would advertise sort of like the Ghostbusters - 'we do anything, ready
to believe you' and when he got a call for some kind of job, he'd pass
it onto one of his network of worker bees.

So, all we 20something, well-dressed guys are sitting in a posh
restaurant in Melbourne. The waitress comes up to the table and says
"What do you all do?". Quick as a flash, the networking guy says "I'm
a pimp, and these are all my rent boys". She looked around the table,
saw nothing to contradict this statement, and walked away.

And really, it isn't so far from the truth.
