For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

    Hello cousin. I feel where you’re coming from.

    I’m not a “Senior Process Analyst” or even a lawyer.

    I’m a dad and a maker and a nerd.

        Fair. I did spend a LOT more time thinking about Terms of Use and arguing with OnShape’s legal department when investigating CAD apps than a normal human would have. I checked out of actual practicing well over a decade ago, though.

      Lol. A dad and a maker here as well. Just saying “maker” would have summarized everything much better.

        Too much gaming and The Expanse and arguing about Star Wars online to say I’m only doing productive nerdy things, but even back to high school and college, long before I ever heard the term, sometimes the urge to “just make somethin’” would become overwhelming.

          Diablo 4 broke me with too much hope that it would get better. I tried to roll into Starfield, but that finished off my spirit. It was the final bullet, as it were. I’ll game again but that experience destroyed any motivation for the last several months.
