Remember that personality test we all took? Mine came out Mastermind, of course.

Mine came out Mad Scientist, but thanks to the warning I was able to tone it down to Mad Engineer and, having achieved that, thence to Technical Committeeman. In which I can be immensely more destructive than ever before but you'll never be able to pin any of it on me. *\;-)

(In reality mine came out Bureaucrat but it took me over three decades to find my true calling as Technical Committeeman. In which I can be...)

There is a fine line I do not wish to cross.

You may know that I think all the important inventions were thought up by lazy people. That’s clearly the motivation for inventing; “There’s got to be an easier way!”

But I don’t want to be so foolish as to put a lot of energy into it. You know what I mean?

This pertains to social situations too. I’m an idea person. I’ll give you the ideas, and you can run with them.

If this eventually redounds to my benefit, so much the better. But the important thing is that I don’t run myself ragged implementing solutions that I think up.

I’m just an idea guy.
