When I worked at Intel, I probably made about a fifth as much as a lot of engineers. But those engineers were smart guys! Each Thursday and Friday after work, they'd take their stock options from SC7 right down the street to B101, and we'd play 9-18 'til dawn. Things leveled out slightly. Having been elsewhere for a while, I'd been meaning to ask someone if those days were over.


As an aside, I remember the day LC's opened. My girlfriend was out of town on, like, some silly bicycle trip, so I got over there good and early. What with all the ads and hype, it was sure to be a fish pond! It took be about a half an hour - and down $20 - for me to figure out I was sitting face-to-face with every out-of-town shark from Oakland (Oaks) to San Pablo (San Pablo) - who had seen the ads too. I drove back to AC's, and it was me alone with 8 pushovers (and a lot of empty tables).
