I didn't start out as a CT. I wasn't even familiar with the term. I am just that person that finds it hard to accept something just because someone says it.
It has gotten me in trouble all my life. It is not just needing to know why, it has to make sense to me. If I can't make sense of something, if I can't wrap my head around it, I exhaust myself trying.
Even when I was a child, the "because I said so", explanation didn't wash with me. I spent hours in the Library's reference section, looking crap up that no one was interested in but me.
My friends used to say I was the smartest person they knew. I was doing High School homework for members of the basketball team when I was in 8th grade. I wasn't smart, I was just a walking talking encyclopedia. Then I discovered computers. The info junkie was trapped.
I worked with computers when they took up a whole building and you had to dress like you were in Alaska when in the building. I used to think they were the greastest thing since sliced bread. Maybe they were back then.
I was given a modem back in the early 80's as a Christmas gift and I fell into "The Well".
The rest is history.
