Strongest: I am creative, format near irrelevant I can and do make pretty stuff. [this is as much about a neat line of code as it is well turned hem]

Weak: peopling, and pretending to be polite about it. Sometimes I just can’t.

I have managed to find myself one of the few jobs that allow you to deal with people and not be polite - in fact sometimes being abrupt and rude can be an advantage! Being able to cut people off and focus single mindedly on getting the information you need is an asset in emergency situations.

Congratulations! Drilling to essentials that fast is a real skill. If I understand what you do do properly, the burnout rate is pretty terrible.

Thank you 😻🚑
