Bio

I like learning and teaching others. I enjoy doing a home haunt every Halloween. I am a computer nerd on the outside and artist on the inside. I fill my long commute with lots of podcasts. I like to figure things out, and share what I learn. I never intend to be mean - but sometimes my comments can be taken two ways (a mean way and a nice way) and someone usually takes it in the mean way. Sorry in advance if that happens.

...See more I woke up from a nightmare where I was at work and had work to do, but asked to go pick up treats for a meeting instead of doing my computer support job. i was asked by an executive assistant who likes to make a lot of noise if she doesn't get what she asks for. And that means copying my bosses boss on an email. and I feel like my bosses never ask for my side in things and do everything to please management - including throwing me under the bus. i live my job and the company - but I need a place that supports me. A team that works like a team and not one that competes against one another. I want to leave and find another job but i am older and I have been left out of projects because of stupid things like this, so not much to put on the resume. l feel trapped.

...See more Yeah. Weird hobby for a guy with anxiety - to build haunted houses that scare people. But I see it as part immersive theater, part engineering project, and part magic trick. Plus people really enjoy coming to see it every year. And my anxiety has nothing to do with scary things. Any other haunters out there?
