resu-MAY

In 30 years of driving I've had two speeding tickets and two minor "fender bender" type wrecks. I can drive a stick and a forklift. I've worked as a carpenter, roofer, concrete worker and completed an electrical apprenticeship, though I'd rather not work as an electrician: the union gave me the electrical training and it would be a breach of faith to use it commercially in a non-union setting.

I'm comfortable with hand-tools and light powertools, and generally can not only put back together what I take apart but can often figure out why a mechanical gadget isn't working, and fix it.

Though I've had no formal training I can troubleshoot Microsoft computer systems and have begun to teach myself UNIX.

I have good math skills and though I don't always tend to speak correctly I have editing experience and am skilled at correcting grammar, spelling and punctuation.

I can do a sort of technical writing, explaining how to do something or get somewhere, and can supplement this with diagrams.

I do not have good people skills, am not social and would hate to supervise others or work as a representative or vendor. I'm much better at expressing myself in writing than verbally.
