At the workplace, I work on a lot of project teams. They have described me as circumspect, detail-oriented, a perfectionist. Some see these are good traits for a developer / systems engineer. And they are - until they’re not. I get stuck in my head a lot. Co-workers have observed me talking to myself or walking down hallways not making eye contact with a furrowed brow and pensive look. This usually means I’m thinking through or troubleshooting code in my head and it helps to get up from my desk and walk, clear my head. Other times, it just means I’m exhausted from thinking and need to get away from problem solving all the time.
So, to all my colleagues past, present, and future, please excuse the looks of consternation. It’s not you, it’s me. 😂

Frustrated code slinger
