Me too!
I like figuring out how things work and explaining it to
other people.
I like playing with words -- getting the explaination *just*
right using *exactly* the right words.
I like making those words look good.
I like hearing "you've really made the product accessible"
Bottom line...
I *am* what I want to be when I grow up...
So when I grow up, I'm all set!
