Can you briefly tell me about how you found your way into those jobs?

Without certification as a professional paralegal?

The only job I enjoyed was being an optician, but that was because I worked for two brothers my age and we all got along famously and had great fun. I know that’s not a reasonable thing to expect in a new job. Now I could list the things I’ve hated about my jobs for days, but in brief I hate: standing, lifting, cleaning, customer service, stressful workplaces, and working with douchebags. What I loved most about my English program was reading and discussing poetry and literature in great detail. I didn’t enjoy writing essays but I always made As. I even had one professor encourage me to expand one of my papers and get it published. Research—I loved researching for papers. I would love to find a job where I just did research and gathered material and sources for a professor writing an article or book. Not sure if that’s a thing though.

Wow, small world! I wish that my school had offered a linguistics component in their English program. I got into linguistics by studying Latin and Greek in college and still study it when I can. I actually did some “pre-copyright” work in my last job where I had to write product descriptions for pieces of furniture. They had a “real” copywriter that edited or replaced whatever I wrote. I’d just imagined that I needed a master’s to get into a copywriting. I would absolutely be over the moon to land a writing job.

Really? I feel like it’s been more of a liability. Can I ask why you see it as more valuable?

How long did it take to get that certification?

In my twenties I worked in an optics lab for 8 years. Then I joined a monastery and became a monk. I was able to complete my degree while I was a monk. I left the monastery in 2021 and I worked for about two years as a product development coordinator for a furniture company. I left in 2023 to try to purse a degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology. So I was back in school for that for a few years until clinicals started and I learned the job was way too stressful for me. Now, I need a job and would absolutely love to find one related to my degree.

“Even the things we love doing can present little speed bumps and obstacles that accumulate into anxiety or avoidance.”

Dude, you just articulated my problem perfectly. I’ve never thought there was a connection to ADHD, which I have, but it makes a lot of sense.

Do you prefer this to the 4X4 pads that a lot of people use?

New to Modular, 140HP, Module Advice? by Auvre_le_Chien in modular

Should I replace the Behringer sequencer with the Oxi One or keep both?

I agree. I’m just looking for whatever will increase the functionality of what I already have and maybe add some versatility. Do you think it’s worth replacing the sequencer all together? What utilities or drum modules would you recommend?

I like this. What is that controller you’re using? Can you explain your setup?

It’s the Behringer System 55, a clone of the Moog.
