    Leaving tubed equipment on.

    That wasn't you, that was the band of teenagers that broke into your house and listened to your system over the weekend while you were gone. Just be thankful they didn't look in your bedroom drawers.


    Oh Jimbo boy. The quips that come to mind.

    I accidentally left my amp and preamp on from Friday to Monday. I then did a Google search to see what, if any, damage I did. Well, I found no agreement, even on this Forum. Some engineers argue that it is the heat up/cool down cycle that does damage and point to military and studio equipment that is left on continuously. . Others point to the finite lifespan of tubes, resistors, transformers.
    Can't we agree on anything?? How about the relative value of high and low end speaker wire and audio cables?

    The magical Michigan story continues!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I hate that the coach of every team in American has to complain about how his team had to "overcome adversity" to be where they are.  Well, having your plane run off the runway which could have potentially killed everyone on board qualifies for "adversity" in my book!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Michigan has the best story of the year.

     

     

    Syracuse, on the other hand, does not get invited to the big dance, and bombs out of the NIT in the 2nd round.

    Anyone ever quit without something to jump to?

    On a more personal note, the way I became a lawyer was by losing a job. The first morning that I woke with no job to go to I was both numb and lost. It took about three weeks until I said, look, you have wanted to be a lawyer since you were 5 years old. Life always got in the way. As a previous post counseled, "put your hand down your pants and see if you have the stuff to do it." It took four years from the time I lost my job until I was accepted and finished law school. I got a job at at a good firm, and although my career took minor turns after that, I was always thankful that I lost that job that allowed me to change direction.

    Don't waste the the opportunity you have given yourself. I know you won't.

    I think it is important to have a plan. While working, your life is scheduled for you. Once you are no longer employed you face a huge void. It is easy to get lost. However, if you have a plan for the future, and work that plan, you maintain a compass that for most of us is essential for sanity. It is easy to feel like a ship without a rudder when you no longer have the discipline imposed by work...sleeping too long, staring at TV, etc.
    As an employment attorney, one of the first things I discuss with clients who have been wrongfully terminated is to find a star and navigate towards it. A vacation is fine, just don't let it become your north star. To that end I have had clients who found a new star (e.g., life plan) and it made all the difference in the rest of their lives. I have also had clients who won respectable settlements, bumbled around until the money was gone, and never recovered.
    So...my advice is to figure out what career will make you happy and work your a** off to get there.
    Good luck, my friend.
