She got paid more, loved working behind a desk making important decisions. I loathed the same. I quit two days before my first was born and I've been the main man since day one for all four of my kids. Kids are 4, 6, 8, and 10 now. Not every day is a bed of roses and there are things I've had to delay/give up, which is true of anyone idiotic enough to have four kids. I love my life, but you can't exactly plan for something like this, it just sort of happens.So you were a Doodlebuger in a previous life?
Not really. I did a bit of it, but only so I knew what was going on out there. I did rapid data quality control. This was back when data had to be physically shipped from the field to the office every couple of days. Rubbermaid containers of magnetic tape. I would run the data through geometry checks and sweep correlation and basic preprocessing to make sure that anything that had to be re-shot could get done before the spread moved. 12-15 hours a day seven days a week running computers in hotel rooms.
Changing diapers was way better.
