And I'm like taking notes usually when I'm talking to you because I'm like, oh, I gotta look that up.

I don't know what she's talking about.

And you're sending links all the time.

So I always feel really educated.

So I'm so excited that you're here because we're just going to kind of kind of rift on like what your career looks like and what's going on with things in the world.

I think that the other thing is I recently learned over the last few years, and this is probably because I've met more people that are systems engineers and system thinkers as well.

But I used to think that everybody thought like this.

You know, you kind of have a general default of how people think.

And I always thought that people thought

in spheres and thought and you know hey if something affects on one side it affects the other like I thought that that was common practice no not at all in fact we are very rare and weird and so and I now realize why I probably had trouble working with others at times because I never understood why they could only think in a flat line and never saw anything else around them or why they chose not to see anything else around them and maybe I've spent a lot of time with networking people because I think networking general for IT thinking systems they have to

Because otherwise, I mean, how could they do their job?

But so I, it's so funny to me that it took me until whatever age I am at the moment to, you know, in general, my lifetime to realize, oh, yeah, so I'm weird.

And it's good.

Okay.

And I don't think like everybody else.

And nobody else is think like me.

But like, we really need to acknowledge in OT, we are system thinkers, because... Or do you remember when you learned that some people don't have an internal voice?

Yeah, that kind of freaked me out too.

I mean, I know some people like name like their inner voice.

I have not gotten that far yet, but I definitely do find it interesting that people don't have like just ongoing thoughts at all times.
