kind of an even mix of walking out on AT&T/@Home/Excite when they started going down, not finding anything in the want ads that looked remotely interesting, having a few connections in the biz, and enough confidence to refine something I enjoyed doing into something that kicked ass and was in demand.
I was supposed to go to a job interview for a high end home theatre installation company called Matrix on the morning I made the decision. Was scheduled to meet the guy at 9am....
I cracked a beer and went down to the jacuzzi instead.
Prepared my girlfriend with a speech about, "This is not gonna be an easy road and I can get a fresh newspaper in the morning if you think it's the better choice"....
That's when the starving commenced.
