It does seem interesting but most of the time I’m bored. You know how when you’re in it you’re bored and freaking out but when you get out of it you’re like “ oh wow so I kind of knew what I was doing all along” Google AI has made it easier since I’m not doing just plumbing. YouTube was a life saver too since no one wanted to train me in the other things.

Or “Wow, I really did that! I’m impressed with myself!”

Yeah. I always like to document because it helps me build resilience. So then I can look back on it and see that maybe my “delusion”? Perfectionism? I don’t know which one it is right now. Maybe that is just me setting really high expectations of myself. Which I’m bad at doing. because I thought I was doing bad and quit every single one of those jobs.
