About Me

I seem to be a very analytical individual. I am more comfortable working alone than with other people, and am not usually very sociable, although I am prepared to take the lead if nobody else is up to the task. I tend to be very practical and logical person with a strong individualistic streak and a low tolerance for political correctness, spin or emotionalism. My mindset in regards to other people could be summed up as: If you don't want to be called an idiot, don't do stupid things.
