I have been a programmer for a lot of years (a lot). I don’t know why i enjoy it so much. I think it is partly because i have a talent for it and partly because it means i get to solve problems. I like to solve problems. I do it all the time. I can sit for hours and work something. Just me and the computer. I always have music as well. I actually prefer to be in a busy office/room with head phones on working away.
The thing is that it is also like playing games. I use to do a lot of RPG stuff many years ago. I don’t anymore cause everyone else grew up and got a real life. I know i could again (now that they are divorced, or their kids grew up) but it is about finding people you’re comfortable with. I also play card games and boxed games. I don’t really like spending my time playing computer/playstation/xbox etc. Games. I LIKE being with people.
Having said i prefer people i sometimes prefer computer to people because they HURRAY UP AND HAVE THEIR TURN. Sorry about the shouting but that is the one thing that shits me right off about playing games with people. When they take time with their turn. Really gets to me. Not in a pleasant way at all. Just ask my sister about the monopoly games of the 80’s and 90’s. One of the reasons that no family member will play ANY games with me. Now that is not entirely true. On holiday i can usually get someone to play card games with me....because they are so bored out of their skull they forget to say no.
I think not everyone likes me when i am coding though. I can get mean if they try asking me really stupid questions like “would you like a cup of tea?”. The answer is of course yes. So you should just put one next to me just in case. Which i can then ignore. ..let go cold and then microwave half an hour later and then complain because it tastes terrible. And that i am hungry and why did no one call me down for dinner?
Anyway. I like programming. Sorry that other people don’t love me doing it too. I wish my PhD could be submitted as code and analysis without all the "words"!
