I'm a dinosaur computer programmer - assembler language on a giant
mainframe. Been doing that for 28 years. Yes, there are still some
things that mainframes do better and faster than anything
else. Hubby is a stockroom coordinator (aka Jack-of-all-trades) for
a retail store.
We do primarily fantasy/science fiction costuming, mostly original
designs. A large number of them have a historical or ethnic design
base, so stuff we learn here is valuable. Stuff gets done in
evenings and weekends, we work slowly, and many times there is a
last-minute scramble to finish before an event. We have no kids, but
5 cats do demand their share of time.
