original content My job, my role, my thing
Hey, things are broken! Come and fix the things. Yes, we broke it just like you said we would. But, now we really need you to fix it.
And if you could bring your weird off-the-wall dark humor for comic relief in this highly tense and trying time, "...that would be grrreat. M'kay?!"
My gig at work - for which they do pay me well. My freelance side hustle too, and my role in the family and mostly any group I belong to: I fix the things.
Feed me, help me not self-destruct, keep me hydrated and in some sort of working order, and nearby or easily reachable because the next crisis is always just 'round the bend! Then, plug me in and watch the magic!
Crisis? Trouble? "When in trouble, fear and doubt, run in circles, scream and shout." ...And call Red. He'll fix it.
Yeah, I was born for this. But I'll still roll my eyes at you while I'm fixing your things.

God forbid you ask me to do something mundane I do every day at work but if your electronics arent working or youre trying to get something running on a Linux system, I will dedicate my entire day to watching tutorials on how to fix it while forgetting to eat and drink and wasting an entire weekend troubleshooting if I can't get it to run.
