About me
Obsessive about systems. Comfortable with chaos. Bad at doing nothing.
I work a lot. I enjoy it. The two being connected is something I consider a personal win.
Drawn to hard environments, sharp people. Slightly masochistic, apparently very effective.
Still in the first chapter. Already taking notes.
