My brother (20 years old, six months on the job and a two year TV degree)
is acting Chief Engineer of the local Fox TV station. When his boss was
making last rounds, one of the sales-apes asked him who would take his
place. They were completely oblivious to the fact that my brother *IS* a
television engineer -- mostly because *they* had never seen him do
anything but change the bad ballasts in the flourescent lights.

He's also been dealing with PC crap on occasion, but mostly only to his
personal desktop. Must be wonderful to say "Can't do that! More important
things!". :-)
