-: So what's really nice in my job
is the other people in my company are my customers,
and they have a burning need sometimes,
that I need to be able to show this to my customers.
So they'll come to me,
or they might have some special demo even.
I've got this big deal, it's worth a million dollars,
and I really need to be able to show them something.
And so I'll say great.
I'll listen to what they have to say.
I'll try to understand what the customer's business is,
and then write them some custom page
or something that has the customer's logo on it
and interacts with a process the way that a customer would.
So our internal sales people get excited about that,
and so it's very rewarding from that standpoint,
to be able to provide
detailed, specific things for our customers.
Sometimes though, it's just the pressure of too much work
and not enough time to get it done.
So there's difficulties in that.
So when learning to handle the stress of the situation
and being able to work under pressure
is a skill that's typically very good
for a lot of people to have.
And then there's some of us,
like me, that I don't work very well
with a wide-open deadline.
I work much better when something's gotta be done
and here's the deadline,
and you only have a few hours or a couple.
It's much more motivating to me,
so I function better that way.
So while it's a detriment to most people,
people like me that can't always pay attention
or stay on task, it helps so.
