    The thing that stood out to me is how many games Clyde didn't start early on. It would probably be more meaningful to compare early periods where both were starters.

    YoY VORP would probably be a decent place to start too

    Just so you know, if you think you're not socially awkward, that usually means you're REALLY socially awkward, lol...

    It's my career as well; but I'm pretty sure I'm not the least awkward analyst I know (I had designs towards the business side of the business, but a week-long trip WITH actual business folks made me realize I was basically too nerdy to survive in that world). :ghoti:

    I think starting off in the military and having to deal with A-Z prepared me a little bit better than the average analyst. There's experiences from there that I probably would not have run across otherwise lol

    I was an English Lit major, but did a bunch of stuff before ending up as a Sr Business Systems Analyst in the Global Sales group for A Shoe Company.

    ...it is now haha. But seriously, that's not my deal but I've got some people here at work who are really hyped about next week. Co-worker pointed out there's one here in Portland- didn't think it was a big deal, then told me that tickets for VIP events are upwards of $600+ o_O and that they're next to impossible to get. Apparently I need to brush up on my nerd-game.

    That's quite an accomplishment, Blazer. "Thinking outside the box" and adaptation are crucial survival skills today business marketplace.

    I've always been interested in tech/computers; as a kid I spent most of my time on a Commodore 64, making my own games in BASIC. In HS, I tested exactly as high for maths as I did for verbal in my SAT's; tested into calculus before my freshman year despite not taking any class beyond Algebra II in HS. Aced Discrete Mathematics in college. But, I am very lazy, and hate math homework, so I flunked out of Calculus for Business. English Lit was a great way for me to learn lateral thinking and "explaining concepts to non technical people", which is a nice skill to have.

    Being nice to people is a skill I'm still learning :ghoti:

    And since you asked, no.
