That probably puts us with a commonality, since I have some reason to believe I’m the first one who started with audio book creation. Pretty sure I’ve gone the longest if I wasn’t the first.
Also, I agree with your last sentiment. Nobody at work knows the things I believe. You never know who would be vying to fire you for thinking incorrect thoughts.
The scary thought is that I was still at my old job, which would've been around 2000-2001. I'm hoping it was after that. LOL!
