Like Spankenstein, I got tired of someone else fucking up my recordings, so I decided I might as well do it myself. I interned at a small project studio for about 2.5 years and then worked as a staff "engineer" there for about a year. That whole living session to session, not knowing when I'd be paid next, getting my acoustic guitar broken by one of the studio owners and then shoddily repaired, I decided it was time to go back to a day job. Tech support for a home and car audio manufacturer. Not the greatest job, but a good company to work for, flexible hours, and my supervisor is an engineer, too!
I will now toss my hat into the ring as being a member of the laziest band on the planet.
