First big-time office job while attending community college. Worked as the Apple IT guy for a medium-sized industrial business in Vacaville, CA. Pipe Shields made shields for pipes—pipes in refineries and factories that contained hot or dangerous chemicals. I maintained a fleet of Mac computers, and did general office work. They sent me to a FileMaker class and I learned how to build cool relational databases. I got really upset when a new productivity consultant forced us all to fill out hourly time sheets. That was my first taste of ridiculous productivity management “tools” and it tasted awful.
