I've been doing that since the 60's and it's led me through a long
string of companies with great ideas that crashed, often for non-
technical reasons. The job is terrific until the genius gets
frustrated and leaves, then I paint walls or inventory the lab
equipment and send it to a scrap dealer. Now I'm nearing (or at)
retirement and can only find temp jobs fixing problems no one else
will touch.
