    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    I am very good at creating attractive, achievable visions, but sometimes I assume we've already achieved the vision when it's just true in my head. It's called "living in a fantasy." Not very productive. I also have cluttered desktops, both physical and digital, which is very embarrassing.

    Jesus Christ, technology, sports, learning, my family, being productive/efficient (some call me a Utilitarian), loving and being loved, laughing, building and creating
    Things I hate
    The fact that there's enough food in this world to feed everyone yet there are thousands that die every day from starvation, selfishness, government/corporate inefficiencies
    My favorite hangouts
    The office, friend's houses, soccer field
    Family
    I have an amazing family. I blame them for my creativity - too much time spent playing Legos. Most people have never heard of my father's native country, the Faroe Islands.
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    I love what I do so much that I work all the time.

  • Tim Developer

    Things I love
    Code, Thinking, sleeping in, freedom, understanding, wisdom, humor, problem solving, reading, writing, tears from the clouds which sprout renewal (Editor's note: ummm....?)
    Things I hate
    Schedules, marketing types(except Kurt; he is as they should all be), constraints, short deadlines (Editor's note: Trying to score points with the marketing comment... it worked.)
    My favorite hangouts
    Coffee shops, any place nerdy, my house, in front of my computer
    Family
    My family is very encouraging, thoughtful and always willing to talk things out. Unless I end up trying to talk about it for 4 hours. They all seem to have limits.
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    I enjoy freedom.

  • Rob Developer

    Things I hate
    Apathy, politicians who steal my liberty, mosquitoes
    My favorite hangouts
    Home, YMCA, the closest climbable tree
    Family
    My family is very perfectionistic. They are also incredibly loving and fun. We're very talkative, and all love to debate.
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    I'd rather be outdoors than stuck at a desk all day.

  • Kristian Developer

    Things I love
    Friendship, Sports, Music, Traveling
    Things I hate
    When people drive slowly in the left lane of 4+ lane traffic. Sports injuries.
    My favorite hangouts
    YMCA ;) (uh... this isn't really a hangout). All the places that I play volleyball. The places that I play soccer. My parents' house
    Family
    My family is very loving, large (as in quantity), and somewhat old-fashioned
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    Uh, who says I'm not? I'd say the biggest thing would be that it's easy to compare to those that know more than me (everyone) and get discouraged.

  • David Developer

    Solving technical challenges. Hangin’ out with friends. Trail bike riding. Worship at church on Sundays. Reaching out and helping others. Espresso, chocolate, & coffee (big time!!).
    Things I hate
    Applications with a bad user interface. Windows XP. Assumptions, they’re usually not very accurate.
    My favorite hangouts
    House of a close friend. Church. Home with my family. Picnics with friends.
    Family
    My family loves to eat healthy fresh produce grown from the home garden; we don't follow mainstream politicians, and we are close-knit in our everyday life
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    I get bored too easily if there are no big challenges.

  • Kevin Developer

    Things I love
    Creativity, the outdoors, playing musical instruments, fixing things, building things, running, staying active in work & play
    Things I hate
    Manipulative media, when a piece of technology is more important than human interaction, injustice
    My favorite hangouts
    On a far away mountain summit (that's where I see God's work the best) and on the kitchen floor (that's where the best talks happen)
    Family
    My family is one of the smallest at Classy Llama - which is surprising, being one of four boys. I owe my musical and artistic ability to my dad and mom, respectively. I'm married to a lovely red-head who's always challenging me to become a better man - and I love her for it.
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    I'm afraid my eyes will go bad for staring at my computer screen for hours at a time. I also prefer being active (not just my mind and fingers) outdoors to sitting all day indoors.

    Family
    My wife and I got married on 06/06/09, so we are still a very young family.  We love each other very much and want to grow old and fat together (though we would like to postpone both as long as possible, lol!).
    Why am I not perfect for my job?
    There are no volleyball/basketball courts at the office, lol!
