When my mother's parents died, I really only cried once, and that was on the way home from what turned out to be the last time I saw my grandfather alive. I loved them both immensely, so it troubled me that I didn't seem more hurt

Proficiency in any reasonably common scripting language. I don't even care which. PowerShell, Z shell, Python, Ruby, just please know enough of something to write scripts to perform the odd task we don't have a dedicated tool for.
