Ah, you bring another up a detail i left out. When i worked as the IT guy for the law-firm-from-hell, part of my job was classroom instruction of end-user computer apps.
I was not very good at that, nor did i enjoy it much. That kind of teaching is more structured than i'm comfy with. I'm not a linear, i.e. concrete sequential, person in general. I'm an abstract random. Teaching language and history are fun; they're structured but not all that linear, even with the chronology that comes with each.
As such, I'm not sure i could find, or construe, a teaching role here that i would be comfortable with. And i do value the achievement of my work situation, even when i have to work 12 hour days with a 3 million dollar deal, and my department's quarterly bonus, hanging on me fixing the customer's problem.
One thing i get to do here which is much fun is translate things for our Spanish and Portuguese customers. People outside my department have noticed that; i'm not sure that my skill with that is appreciated within Dev/Support, where i work, but ah, well.
