    Man I feel this all the time. I can’t count the number of times I’m talking to my boss about something and I think “oh yeah, should be easy” and something will trip me up for a day

      Yep, and the the more you work on it, the more issues and problems you run into that you need to figure out.

      Not to mention the more things you see that you try to get fancy on. Which ends up taking even more time/effort, because you can’t let it beat you.

      I hear you… it’s a killer isn’t it.

      The number of times I have made a rod for my own back with clients… “Yea, I’ll add that I’m for you no problem”…

      The famous last words.

      The can of worms opens and a few rounds of crisis of confidence and tears later, eventually get there and think, I’m keeping my mouth shut from here on in.

      Rinse and repeat :)

            No, you don’t actually have to be a biomed to work as one in Sweden. I have engineering background and I guess I’m pretty technical overall. I actually didn’t know there were biomeds at hospitals. I got sort of a test employment through a government program and they liked me so I got to stay.

        I pretty much had to. Burned out completely. Took years to even think about working again. But enough about me, what’s up with you these days? :D

        Right, your question. First BioMed at a hospital and then tech service for analytics and automation. See my answers elswere in the thread as well.

          Ahhh gotcha and understandable.

          I’m fortunate that I work for myself and kind of pick and choose the clients and jobs I work with. It’s nothing too taxing and I generally build higher level functionality into websites that sort of thing :)

          Keeps the wolves from the door and food on the table !

    Sometimes I wonder if I am crazy for programming as a hobby.

    Wouldn’t crochet be easier?
