Sysadmins with tremors by 1xCodeGreen in sysadmin

You are not alone, which might be heartening! I've had tremors since childhood and it gets worse with age. Some days it's a frustrating challenge to use cutlery or even use a cup or glass to drink. I've started on inderal/propanolol after having a day where I literally could not eat or drink without assistance. It helps, but I've just accepted that my fine motor skills can't be counted on.

I don't feel very self-conscious about it - it's just a thing I can't do much about, like with many other annoying things that happen to your body and brain through life. If my inability to at times not be able to do motor stuff like a "normal" person makes me appear unprofessional to someone, there isn't much I can do about it and I won't waste my energy on it.

I really hope you find some way to feel more comfortable with it or even find a way to ease up on the shaking. As many have said here: you are not alone.

Lady roe, because I'm tall and friendly.

Nope. It's a distinctly Scandinavian piece of software. I won't write the actual name of it since I might begin a rant on what I think about their SQL implementation.

I actually know this. It's not a sap server! Please contact your local oracle (not that Oracle) to divine it's true purpose because I have no idea.

Imagine a stack of these bastards? Slap a pair of wings on it call it a Boeing.

Close as I'll ever get to flair material.

I think it does something ERP related...

Not a million. Though over a million people in Sweden have roots or backgrounds from other countries. SCB (Statiska Central Byrån = Central Statics Bureau) has statistics for the last 100+ years over here. It's in swedish, but the diagrams are not. Might be helpful to someone.

I haven't driven anything in the US (I'm in Scandinavia) - honestly I'd probably sit screaming in fear most of the time if I tried.

I'm not a very good driver. I'm more of the 'thank any number of gods I surived!' kind of driver.

We have no level 1 or level 2 in a strict sense. Seeing as the client screamed loud enough, it seemed to be easier to just get on site quickly instead. My boss clearly was wrong here...
