Thank you for a very... unexpected.... answer... That was quite informative.

My boss would be really pissed if I found another one. I am the boss,
after all. LOL

The interesting thing is that the "arbitrary" time would be incredibly
fun and I would learn a lot (esp. thanks to Clifford for your personal
story), but I lack both time and courage to engage this much further.
Mostly courage, let's face it.

Thanks!
Aaron.
