Yeah....me too. I've had...other experiences in my life....but I actually had to stop drinking coffee/soda in the morning when working because I got way to jittery.
You can imagine being cranked up on coffee and obscene amounts of adrenaline, and trying to hold a videocamera steady.....
Stealth is always important....but you figure any company has a product, right?
Our product is evidence, usually in the form of videotape, sometimes in...other...things. You wouldn't buy a shitty product, ie shaky, bouncy, videotape.....
When without coffee, soda, etc, I've done this enough that all those obscue muscles in my hands, wrists, shoulders, and arms, are all well honed....I could hold an enriched uranium rod steady in a reactor at this point (if it wouldn't kill me, heh), so steady are my hands. All practice.....
Even our undercover stuff, too. Cameras in buttons, sleeves, watches, glasses, and so on....all that tech reliant on one's ability to hold still or steady when the case may be.
It's funny, really.
Ever think any more about farming your services out as an info broker?
Ahh....I *do* have doubts, true, but I wouldn't let on that I knew you firsthand, second, to do decently in it we would never be your only client. In fact, you'd probably have many, many clients in order to do it and be profitable.
It all depends on marketing, really. How you sell yourself, etc. Though we could use someone like that, it wouldn't be a full time type position.....it would be part time, with many other companies......

It doesn't work. It doesn't work at all.
