I think that Never Goes Back to School was 2004-2007--possibly late 2003 and I was pretty much done by 2007. My last semester was sort of a victory lap. I was very lazy for a summer and then I started at the Mysterious Workplace in September. It is possible that we have now known each other for 13-ish years.
I have sent Steen in your direction, by the way, because he is looking for technical writing work. If you feel like doing some mentoring, I think he is worthwhile and he could use some advice. Everyone is making their escape plans for when DNA closes, which is the smart play, but also makes me sad.
I bought a car and started driving up to the City in 2003, so yeah, that sounds about right.
Steen is, as I recall, a pretty good writer so hopefully it won't be too difficult for him to learn the craft. (The two are often at odds, and tech writing pays well but also drives away the muse, which is not a choice some people are willing to make.) (You have my email and such, right?)

Was a still finishing up school when we met? I think that may have been the case.

I think I have your email, yes. Paying the bills or keeping the muse alive is a rough choice. These are difficult times in ess eff.
