WIST Quotations has moved!

A quotation from Smith, Sydney:

«
It is a very wise rule in the conduct of the understanding, to acquire early a correct notion of your own peculiar constitution of mind, and to become well acquainted, as a physician would say, with your idiosyncrasy. Are you an acute man, and see sharply for small distances? or are you a comprehensive man, and able to take in, wide an…

Fun Fact About Me

I once jumped off of the Stratosphere Hotel in Las Vegas.

Best ways to communicate with me

Asynchronous is the way to go for me personally. I don’t particularly like meetings, but I understand they are necessary, important or even easier at times.

I much prefer to do my chatting on Discord or Mastodon if we can. If we must have a meeting like a Zoom call, then please make sure to give a considerable enough of notice.

When I do my best work

I do my best work when I’ve got some music playing in the background and am in my office/computer room without interruptions. I get in the zone and just do what needs to be done.

Strengths

Working remote – From the comfort of my own home. I’ve done this for the last 9 years and I have found that it’s the best way for me to work at most any time.

Punctual – My Pops taught me to always be early, not just on time. If the schedule says to be at work at 7am, then expect me to show up by 6:30am.

Communication – It’s something I’ve done all of my career as I’ve always worked in retail, sales, management or similar other things that require a ton of communication. It’s simply something I feel I excel at in numerous ways.

Personal interests

Video games. I have been playing them since 1976 or so and still do to this very day. I don’t see that changing anytime soon, hopefully.

Music, music, music! I can’t survive or focus without music. It’s what puts me in the zone and allows me to do whatever it is I need or want to do.

Iced coffee. I can’t start my day without this. Be it good for me or not, it’s one thing I do every single day right after waking up and giving the cats their treats.

What I’ve done in my work career

I’ve done a lot of different things over the years, but the majority of the time my work has been customer service, customer support, retail, sales, fast-food, management and community management or social media manager type work.

Daily writing prompt What is something others do that sparks your admiration? View all responses

This is a tough one for me. There are a lot of things I could mention, but explaining them are somewhat beyond me. Maybe I’m just suffering from some minor brain fry today. Maybe I’m just letting the cold, damp weather get to me. I don’t know.

The one thing that comes to mind is focus. I am such a procrastinator that focus is an issue for me. Is work ethic a better term in this case? I don’t think so. I think my work ethic is okay, I just feel like I need a jump start now and then to get me out of procrastination mode.

Speaking of procrastination… it has more or less taken me three tries (and counting) to write the prior two paragraphs. Ugh.

What are some other things? I admire people who don’t have to eat all the time. Even post-gastric bypass, I feel like I am snacking on something all the time. I also feel like the length of time I can go in between snacks is getting shorter. Yesterday my stomach was yelling at me to eat all day long and it was annoying.

I admire people who are decisive. I am not decisive. I am Mr Indecisive. I constantly second guess myself. When other people do that I get upset because I have faith in their decisions, even if they are just gut reactions. I don’t feel that way about my own decisions though. I doubt and doubt and doubt.

I admire musicians who have the discipline to practice. I just can’t do it. I can’t sit down and practice scales or picking patterns or anything like that. I have to come up with a project and work on it. That’s one of the reasons I do so many song writing challenges. I feel like I won’t play at all if I don’t have a project to work on. I wish I could just sit down with my guitar and practice for the sake of practicing. I admire people who can do that.

Okay, there are a few examples. It took me almost an hour to write this because I am in full procrastination mode today. How’s that for irony?
