You might want to consider it. Way back in the day I was hired on a contract job for Network administration and engineering. When I got to my first day they put me on a desk troubleshooting programming issues with databases for Pepsico. I told the people in charge I really was not even remotely qualified for the technical level of troubleshooting required as programming and DBA were not something I did. They told me to wing it and try. Oddly, it ended up that my skills ended up helping to spot things that were networking and communications issues and resolving those so that the programming and DB people didn't tear their hair out over something that dealt with dropped comms or permissioning. Sometimes you need the oddball who can work with others with a different area of expertise. Glory holes also end up being one of those areas too. Sometimes you need someone with some odd area of expertise to deal with what someone, or thing, puts into the hole.
Oh the erectile dysfunction is the problem. They make pills for executive dysfunction now. Some of them are even chewable for those with issues swallowing loads of pills.
It's a good side gig for extra money, or a temporary gig while one is between main gigs or just can't work a regular job. It's not so great as a long-term primary job. Actually, erectile dysfunction is a pretty good metaphor for executive dysfunction. For the sake of clarity, executive dysfunction is the inability to choose what one focuses on, or difficulty with choosing what to focus on beyond "I'd rather do something else, but I better get this done." It's most often associated with autism, but is also a big part of ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and other things. It is a symptom of mental disorders and an actual medical issue, not simply a person making bad choices or being lazy as those of us who struggle with it are often accused. Not sure what I'd be diagnosed with, it could be a few different things, but here's how it works for me: It's mostly random. I'll be doing something, or about to do something, and I suddenly can't focus on it. More often than not, if I just pause for a second or two, it goes away, and I continue doing what I was doing. Sometimes that doesn't work and I just can't focus on a specific thing, or I can't focus on anything but a specific thing. Sometimes I can force myself to focus and it stops, other times trying to force myself to focus only makes it worse and I end up just spacing out for long periods of time. It would be manageable, but the one thing I absolutely cannot deal with is micromanagement. It's the one thing that always makes it worse, and I've always been surrounded by people who insist on trying to micromanage me. If this was properly addressed when I was a kid, I probably would have turned out okay. And yes, there are pills for it. Unfortunately, you can't just buy them (legally and affordably, anyway.) As a kid, I wasn't allowed to have those pills. My father was a very Alberty individual. Being able to focus enough to function was my responsibility, not his. "You're asking me to take you to, and pay for, doctor visits and pills when you won't even do your homework like I asked? You don't need pills, just do your fucking homework!" (Fun fact: my father died bitter and alone.) Earlier in adult hood, when I had health insurance, it came with a $3000 deductible, and I couldn't afford to actually use it. After the ACA: After fucking decades of my dad adamantly insisting that mental health is a bunch of bullshit and I just need to knock it off, the thought of seeking it out turns my brain to TV static. When I can actually manage to get to the point of trying to make appointments, something always gets in the way. Often, I don't have time for it because I'm scrambling to pay for bills and I need to work. Other times, somehow I didn't try to make the appointment the right way and the person I'm talking to can't do anything for me, they can't even explain to me how I managed to fuck up making a mental health appointment when I have a "how to make an appointment with us" list right in front of me, and I've followed it to the letter! I think I could manage to walk into urgent care or something and tell them "I need some adderall or something because this is all a bunch of bullshit," but that'll most likely result in being told no and them putting up posters with my picture with "do not give this person adderall or something" written under it. Hopefully I'll figure out something, because seriously, this is a bunch of bullshit.
