Greetings, solitary ones.
My name is Frank. I am a former accountant and a former software tester from Kennewick, Washington. I have 7 years of college education, including a B.A. in accounting from WSU Richland, 2 years of study in technical writing and communications from CBC Pasco, and one year of study in computer science from WSU Pullman. I use cannabis to manage anxiety and depression. This makes me ineligible to work in my professional specializations, generally, so I am looking for cannabusiness work on the west side of the state. Since the private and public sectors have deemed me incapable of doing knowledge work because of my need for cannabis, I'll devote my professional efforts to supporting the cannabis industry instead. I can do independent software development in my spare time; there is no need for me to have an actual programming job.
I struggle with ADD and Asperger's Syndrome. I have little talent in dealing with people apart from a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. I find people interesting though. I spent my free time in college seeking out social situations at the bounds of my comfort zone, such as going to parties and meeting new people in different settings, to learn how to deal with people better through extensive trial and error. I have embarrassed myself more times than I could count, but I managed to push through and develop a reasonable amount of social skill anyway despite my clumsiness.
I have a serious anxiety problem. I don't have panic attacks, but my anxiety slowly builds up over time with stress to the point where it becomes unmanageable, at which point I start making serious errors in judgement. This has cost me three good jobs, two careers, and some friendships. I have had a very difficult life in some ways, or at least an extremely frustrating one.
Most of my stress comes from social drama. I am not naturally good with people, and I keep producing drama in my life through pointless arguments. I am done with all that. I can't handle the stress anymore. I have sufficiently muddied my name with my family and most of my old social network that I have little hope of restoring it. I am tired of life here in the Tri-Cities. I have lots of enemies here. I want to go away to the west side, start over fresh, and leave pretty much everyone here on the east side alone. I need to find peace in solitude and get my life together. I'd say "back together," but it's never been "together" before.
Nothing I have tried in my life so far has given me inner peace, but I have a plan now. I want to work for a while, save up some money, and buy a small property in the woods. There, I will practice some crafting skills, traditional woodworking and iron-forging, in keeping with the fine artisanal tradition of my family. I think that peace can be made through productive rest, and that it is also right there for the taking out of doors. We have only to meditate upon nature to find it.
I will journey to the forests of western Washington, find work, build myself a cabin in the woods, and build my own peace the old-fashioned way: through solitude, through meditation upon nature, and through the shaping of wood and the pounding of iron. I will also make webgames independently, time permitting. My hope is that my lifestyle will show through in my work and enhance it. The independent developer Sami Maaranen of Finland has a similar lifestyle; I was inspired to take this course of action by his work. The corporate world has chewed me up and spit me out. I want no more of office politics. There are no office politics to be found in the forest.
If I want to find peace in solitude, I figure this is a good place to start looking for advice. You all must be, like, the domain experts on the subject, right? Maybe I can help you all out with any advice you would like to ask of me while I'm here. I'll just solve your problem by making reference to my wide and impressive variety of mistakes, where I probably had the same problem myself, screwed everything up royally, and learned how to solve it properly while fixing my errors.
I'm done with Facebook. That's where half of my stress comes from. There is probably less stress to be found here if I want to get my social media fix. I look forward to meeting everyone.
Kind Regards,
Frank
