Marrying inside the clan Andy asks if I married inside the clan. In a sense, Julie married "outside" of the clan. She got a degree in MIS and I'm the one who had the business and foreign language degrees. Yes, we both do computers, so I guess I married inside the clan. She doesn't program per se, but on her last project, she was writing XSDs and she has written a .NET app using Visual Studio.NET. She said it was super simple, and it just worked - sounds like my kind of software ;-). Even though she is (or was) in the industry, she doesn't care for computers all the much. I'm not allowed to touch her machine - no upgrading from Win2K -> XP and she hates the Apple, especially the mouse.

In conclusion, Julie knows computers, but doesn't have a passion for them like me. When she was working, she was the highest paid woman I know. For awhile there, she was even paid more than me! Until I told my boss I needed a raise b/c my wife was making more - and it actually worked (Julie's reaction to this like - "Yeah, that sucks! If I went into my boss and told him my husband was making more than me, he'd say 'So?'"). Posted in General at Jan 12 2003, 09:49:14 AM MST Add a Comment
