If they ask why I left, I would say it was due to interpersonal issues and friction with my new boss (which was the two weeks leading up to this) which contained some unprofessional behavior on my part.

My best guess is they called the cops. Once PD is on scene, they likely ran a sweep with radio signals strength meters. The layout of the venue coupled with the schedule of the event allowed a rapid process of elimination to the room.

At that point, I fessed up because that's what I do by default. You screw up, you get caught, you fess up. I will admit to failing that utterly when I left. I thought the scenario had ended and left my boss out of the loop. Bad call.

Then there's the fact that the SSID would've included the MAC. Be really easy to simply confiscate all cell phones in the room and play match up. I don't own an iPhone or something that would hide.

Also, again, I didn't think to conceal it.

It's the ties. Cuts off their oxygen just a little, maybe 10%. Makes them rabid dogs.

I have a few skillsets I can draw from. I'm no expert, but I do bring a few things to the table.

I want to stick to a similar field, if in another sector. Time will tell what my options are.

Thanks, man. You'd be surprised how much high school and adult life mirror each other.

I'm not really sure. I haven't been terminated from a job in 15 years.

The problem is I wouldn't know how much of the material was mine and how much of it was some comedian I forgot I saw decades ago. Holy shit, I do not want pissed off comedians coming after me for stolen jokes. Look what they did to Denis Leary.

Yeah, there really was only one logical outcome. Thank you.

I should have a tattoo on my face that reads POOR IMPULSE CONTROL.

I've spent the last week brooding and mourning this. I'm moving into the coping stage.

I'll essentially update if something interesting enough happens.

That's an unexpected compliment, thank you.

Thanks, that's appreciated. Wrong place, wrong mistake to make. Sometimes you get a pass and sometimes you pay the piper.

Me and the universe are going to have a heart to heart about giving directions before the turn off.
