I fix all the tech at work because our IT department is dog trash and not fixing something when I know how feels like bees in my brain. Does that count as a hobby? :/

I also sometimes cook food in a more elaborate way than necessary which I've heard some people get paid for

I considered this until I learned how much more IT is paid than me, without needing the education and certifications that I need.

Funny, I can't seem to remember which port my mouse plugs into on my work computer now.
