That Roger Daltrey sure looked like a nice young man.
(And damn, but those are some pretty darn tight trousers on Keith Moon.)

And here's something for Taig in case he runs out of monster ideas.
I'm thinking a unique fey, or advanced bogey (wo)man.

What is it you do, Maccabee? Sounds pretty rough.
I'm a military Forward Air Controller.

Cool! I've never worked on a monster based on a song.
Also, I happen to like The Kinks, so great choice there. :)

From what I understood from my quick introduction to it many years ago, it's about quadruple the stress of being an air traffic controller at a major international airport.

So there are jobs available in healthcare and at Denver International Airport. In both, I'd be responsible for the high-availability computing infrastructure. I find myself unable to apply for either. It must be some fundamental cowardice, but I can't imagine being responsible for people's lives in an indirect way -- or rather, for their deaths should I or my staff slip up.

Hey, if my brother can write the code for a program that keeps track of who's been vaccinated against swine-flu*, I'm sure you can be trusted to handle those things. :)
*He'd probably want me to point out that any side-effects from those shots should be blamed on the politicians who were in too much of a hurry to get the vaccine out before it'd been given a thorough test-run, and the Swedish media in general (the tabloid-press in particular) who created the climate in which those politicians felt they had to do that - and the database had nothing to do with it.

Treppa... Responsibility for others' lives is something you learn to deal with. And hey... if you don't apply, someone else, with likely less respect for the job, will take it.
Go Treppa!
Yes to this. The biggest part of being responsible for others is giving a crap. Worrying about it shows that you actually CARE. You're already ahead of most of your competition.
