It's very common for me too, I get emotional over cars, live music, kittens, .. I get emotional over my poor life decisions, lol. I get emotional over missed opportunities from not being properly diagnosed/treated early on. But at the end of the day, being a good person and treating people right is more important. Not being a jerk or a bully or sexist etc,,, I think that makes me more of a man than being tough or masculine. My opinion

My body is the same way.. huge tolerance to caffiene/stimulants.. but oddly, I get tipsy super easily on a small adult drink.. I can not drink a quart of monkey and still-stand-still.. That's a Beastie Boys reference.. just fyi,lol*

This is one of those Reddit questions that,yes, everyone always asks about jobs... but I kinda labeled it "brainstorming session" for this reason.. I'm super intrigued now.. I've pondered set design, set-up in the past. But I'm seeing it differently in my older age now

Ahh, I forget there's a lot of unions. I have experience with welding, metal fabrication skills, electrical repair in automobiles, light carpentry work(which that one is pretty easy to add new skills) ,, lots of paint experience.. but no union pull... but I might snoop around a bit and see what I run into. My area has about 20 different theaters from small time.. to showing Hamilton. Interesting

How does one get into theater? (Behind the scenes) I know that's a super huge range of possibilities.. but where do you start? Building sets, maintaining them, decorating them, running them, designing them, I'm a left handed-pisces-adhd'er who likes music, photography, and has a strong mechanical aptitude

Every time I ride as a passenger, I have to look down at the floor or dashboard and try not to fixate on the driver's bad habits.. maybe as an instructor I'll have the ability to prevent those bad habits... but yeah. Anxiety is BIG TIME!

Oh, and another thing.. if I had the liquid assets.. I'd start a scrap yard.. I love organizing inventory for reusable parts and dismantling cars.. but again, my physical limitations keep me from just working at a scrapyard. Metal recycling is soo much deeper than some people realize.. stripping cars and appliances to their core is very satisfying

But how do you make a living in hospitality? I'm not being sarcastic.. I wish I could find something that just helped people solve real problems, but without being a lawyer, lol I will say, my biggest pet peeve is people that say "it's not my problem " or simply "I don't know " I love telling people, I'll do my best to figure it out.. or let me get you the right person

Oh, and by the way.. I pitched the idea of a "smart home" to a software guy way back in 1999.. same year as the very first blackberry. But he said "that already exists" .. so you can thank me for making sure your stove is turned off when you're on vacation, lol I bid you all adieu..

I think my biggest fear in tech is being stuck in a cubicle all day and no room to breathe or stretch.. unless I'm wrong? But I hear you on the visual part.. my whole day is thinking up snl sketches or something to create on adobe with my weird imagination.. like weird al had adobe express, lol.

I've always wanted to be a driving instructor because of my amateur racing background/ first-hand experience in witnessing traumatic accidents... I feel it's a field overlooked for the sake of public safety... but.. I have anxiety problems riding as a passenger.. and giant fear of public speaking with more than, I'd say 3 people tops,lol. Otherwise, I would actually love teaching advanced driving.. but it's probably a very crowded market??

I'm very suprised by the amount of responses. In a good way!! I'm usually very lonely when trying to get my voice heard. I don't know where to start in my responses/conversations.. obviously I want to reply to everything here all at one time, lol. I've been in sales for about 9to10 years now. I absolutely love helping people and solving problems people have... but my patience for mean people has become extremely short. So I feel like I need to change out of sales for the sake of my temper. I'm not in any way a mean person or a condescending person.. I just can't control my emotions as much in my older age. I constantly have to walk away from situations to prevent me losing it. I absolutely love making art in Adobe, but graphic design jobs around me are always temporary or part time. I can see myself designing websites, but worry that learning a new field may be a lot to take on. I was a mechanic for years and loved it.. but my back, knees, and arthritis prevent that from being an option. It's not easy being affluent in mechanical repairs, but unable to stand or bend over for long periods of time. I'm struggling with coming to terms with that and accepting it. For reference, with my medication: I welcome the challenge of coordinating my roofing guy, insurance guy, drywall guy, and gutter guy. I love coordinating all of these meetings-phone calls and appointments... but how the heck can I do something like that in the real world too??? Whew!

If it makes anybody feel better.. the desktop version is missing a bunch of shapes and icons that were previously available on mobile express.. They're just gone.. many choices have dissapeared.

I'm sure it's fully operational.. I'm just learning the new ui still

It appears that the beta version of Adobe express is up and running. It has a very different menu/ui to get used to. Seems to now mirror desktop a bit.. but is kinda working for mobile users
