I have always been a person who was bored in school. Usually because I was way ahead of the other students. Some have thought that I had ADD because I get up and walk around and talk to people at work and do not sit and type code all day. I have tended to believe that it is more of having a ENTP personality on the MBTI.
Yes, I get bored, but is it really a disorder or is just my natural personallity to be challanged.
I wonder just how many people with ADD are really only show ing there true ENTP.
There is some ageism everywhere but if at 32 one is feeling this then I ask what age are companies going to hire?
20-24 Recent Grad little work exp. 25-27 Enough exp that we dont have to train you but enough years left before you are outdated. 28-31 Why would we invest in someone who is going to be washed up in three years 32 They must work with punch cards still.
I have never understood why so many IT employees are afraid of forming a Union. There are limitations, like not geting as big of a raise during boom times. But you have more control over overtime, and standard set raises even during slow times. Is it just my percention of IT people being anti union or is it me?
I do not know who will admit it but I am one of these people who cause the monday crash. I get a cool new idea type some code for an hour or two and bam roll it out. Hey it isn't my fault they didn't buy me a test enviroment.
I think it comes down to personality though. I am great at creating and inventing new things, but I become easily bored with the idea once I solve how it should work. A Psyco-doctor once told me that was common for people with ENTP personnalities, and many computer people are ENTPs.
