In a recent journal entry I got to writing about just who I am.Here is some of that:
I am disciple of Jesus Christ, trained in my understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ from scriptures consisting of the New Testament, the Old Testament, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and the Pearl of Great Price.
I have been ordained to the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods by my father, and hold the office of Elder in the Melchizedek priesthood, in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I am the son of Andy and Lisa Robertson, still married, and the forth of seven children.
I am as yet unmarried, but hold out hope that I will eventually find a woman willing to marry and be married to me; together to raise a family.
As for employment: I am currently frustratingly unemployed.
In general I can do most anything I am asked to do. There are some things I cannot do, and some I will not do: I will not ask if "you want fries with that", and would rather not answer phones or work a cash register.
What kind of job do I want?
One that will allow me to provide for, support and raise a family.
One that does not demand all my time, energy or effort, so that I have something to give to my family and community.
One where I can use the skills I have to my satisfaction, and help others to do the same.
One where I can learn new skills and things, and help others to do the same.
I am skilled at some methods of image creation, and also skilled at some forms of information distribution.
I can use Maya, and have some past experience with SolidWorks, some self-taught time with Inventor, and some past training with 3dsMax. As with the 2d-platforms, I expect that I can probably figure out any 3d-platform given time, and someone to ask
II can use Autocad and ME-10, and expect I can generally figure out most any other CAD program. can put pencil to paper and create some passable drawings, as well as do the analog of the above digital skills. I have been trained in some life and still-life drawing methods. I am more of a technician than an artist.
I have been trained in many of the fundamentals of animation, 2d and 3d.
I am interested in learning more of script and story writing.
I can type within reason, as well as 10-key.
I can do some field surveying of places and constructs, and mapping.
I can handle inventory, and information, some data processing.
I can use tools, hand and power, and could even use some big machinery with sufficient space and time to figure it out.
I have held jobs (oldest to most recent) as a janitor, quality control checker, a single color silk screen printer, a Mig-welder for a short time, a go-for driver, a clerk, an assistant to a commercial real estate agent, a draftsman in the HVAC and Mechanical disciplines, and some temp work helping the water master for an irrigation canal manage the growth and right-of-ways around the canal.
I am interested in history, both political and family. I have done some genealogy, but most of my own has already been done by others, and I have not yet pursued the threads still open by their work.
I enjoy being outdoors, whether doing manual labor or some form of playing.
I enjoy horse back riding, hiking, camping, target shooting; I aspire to learn archery and rock climbing when I can get the spare money for equipment and instruction.
I despise participating in Team Sports, though I can generally chase a ball when I chose to.
I seek to learn why things work, not just how.
I enjoy reading, and asking questions of people whom I determine actually know something, to learn from them.
