Random Rant 1: Adaptability vs Practicality

Ask anyone that knows me and they’ll say that I’m highly adaptable. If I don’t initially know how to complete a task, I will by the end. Unless it’s impossible, in which case, I’ll find a solution via other means. There are no problems, only situations, challenges, opportunities. But the practicality of a resolution to a situation is my biggest obstacle. Not the What/Where/When/How, but the Why. I won’t adapt to a bad solution when something else better exists. If I don’t see the point, then there must not be one. Don’t misunderstand me; even if I can’t relate to a situation, I’ll attempt to empathize with it. But if I’m asked to answer a question that’s already been answered, I’m going to quote it and move on. Not for a lack of motivation, but because that work has been done. Sure sometimes things can be done better, and I’m all for advancement, but don’t ask me to hack something together, when a better solution already exists.
