<< < (5/6) > >>

i like to waste my time on electronics :) sometimes i make nothing useful, sometimes i repair stuff, sometimes i even destroy stuff, sometimes i build stuff which more crappy and expensive than a bought one.. but meh... still like it ! :D

If electronics is a waste of time, I can think of several hundred other hobbies or activities that are a much greater waste of time!  Stamp collecting, golf, gnomes, beermats, baking (a particular nonsense that is very popular in the UK ATM!), etc, etc!  Electronics, for me anyway, is an infinitely interesting and absorbing subject in it's own right, even if nothing productive at a commercial level is achieved.

   There's lots of us, who don't 'build', but that's only better said as 'dont build things, directly'.  Heck, many many Product Support, and Technical Trainer folks contribute highly, to any team, really.  Any team has got to have all kinds of krud-level support.

Another problem--and this may just be me being weird--is that sometimes I don't know whether I'm enjoying something or not. My hobbies all involve problem-solving of some sort. Problem-solving can be fun and rewarding, but it can also be frustrating. This happens all too often: I want to make something (a circuit/program/metal doohicky), and I run into a really challenging problem/task. I get tunnel vision while working on it, and then a couple of hours later I'll realize that I've not been having fun for the past 45 minutes, and I feel like that time was wasted. It's difficult for me to realize when I need to pause and go do something else.

Think of it just as you would fitness exercise. Some workouts are better than others.

Agreed, exactly as sex for non-procreative purposes. Still a lot of fun, though.
