Glad you enjoyed. I'm half-serious but completely tongue-in-cheek.

As a TV producer from a working class background (I was a HS dropout and I worked my way up from nothing) I feel that stress of trying to keep up in a materialistic world. It's not easy. I bury my head in the technical and creative ends of my job so that I don't have to deal with the schmoozing stuff. It's very…

Thanks for your comment, I can relate. Being from the bowels of Queens, it's nice to hear from another native - I feel like we're a dying breed.
