@gsuberland I have made a good part of my career performing "impossibility remediation" and really enjoy that. It's the projects that are achievable that I typically screw up on. There's no sense of achievement quite like saving a multi-million dollar project with hours to spare.
@alan @gsuberland I have always done best in crisis situations, as when the adrenaline starts flowing I can stay calm and think properly at last. I've had people think I don't understand how serious a problem was because I wasn't freaking out, and I was just working out where to start.
Yeah, it's when there's a huge amount of time, no urgency, and a lot of planning to be done that my brain locks up.
It's great when we can use our brains the way they want to work, but I'd trade it for a bit of peace and quiet sometimes. 😁
