meme: redux
Unaccountably, I missed two sections off the jobs and aspirations meme yesterday, so here they are, FWIW:
I have also spent a lot of time as a...
social cripple and generally disfunctional human being; also, a lot of time, as they say, getting my head together - by myself, in healing and therapy workshops, and being whacked about the head with a wet fish by people who, unaccountably, didn't give up on me (thanks!). I carry my past still, of course, but it's a lot less heavy these days :)
I am happy/hideously disappointed with my career choice...
It works for me. Programming, in the broadest sense, really is my one outstanding skill and getting paid to do what I love is not in any way a bad thing.
The one thing I most wish I could do that I know not how is to articulate my thoughts and ideas well and clearly in words. There are many, many subjects about which I think deeply and hold ideas and opinions that I wish I could share, whether is writing or in speech: I just seem to be unable to translate concepts, thoughts, castles of internal abstraction, into coherent sentences such that I can actually communicate what's in me to you out there.
It's frustrating.
