America as a whole is obsessed with labels and categorization, and an obsession with making things fit neatly in buckets, which is ridiculous. The media especially loves it, look at all the new acronyms they concoct on a daily basis.

I guess am going down that path, am on the database side though. It terrifies me to be a people's manager, approving timesheets and crap.. I would love the mentoring part, but I'd rather skip and go straight to being the strategy

You're doing good, form is better than just lifting heavy. It's counter-productive, you hurt something and then laid up for weeks in recovery. I hurt my shoulder lifting heavy and it took me months to get to even half of what I wa
