22/03/2021 - i lack UI and design skills

-
i don't really know are there any guidelines for conventions regarding web design

issues with communicating my skill sets to potential employers
  • i have been doing a lot of server side coding and just frontend coding but little on web design or considering much about the navigation and the user
  • without a knowledge of user patterns
  • non technical people only care about looks
    • well they said they wanted a UI/UX designer
  • not intuitive
  • i get too caught up in technical explanation of functionality

i know UI/UX designer doesn't suit me
  • i hate talking to users and stakeholders.
    • different mental models and knowledge
    • bad at being intuitive
    • inarticulate about their needs
    • communicating and adjusting expectations requires you to think clearly and have some kind of planning skills
  • i am an ISTJ, i like clearly defined roles and processes
  • no one understands what i am talking about
    • technical
    • slow to pick up what they actually want to hear
    • i am better at writing than speaking
      • takes time to process and communicate clearly

does this mean the programme is not suitable for me and i should jump straight into applying for jobs?

currently learning
  • adobe xd
    • great site
    • https://www.xdguru.com/adobe-xd-guide/
  • html/css/js vanilla project

what seems to be favourable for me
  • i have a few direct interview requests for sql roles
  • maybe i should focus on databases and data analysis?
  • i mean, i dont mind doing excel, vba, sql, cloud sql too

green tea bitch

let me tell you the story of a green tea bitch and a hamsum with cheater potential.  i work closely with greentea in office. greentea has/had a long term boyfriend if more than 5 years (not sure if they still together, greentea always winces when i ask her about mr i-seriously-think-you-were-cuckolded nowadays). but she also crushes on the now ex-tech lead mr suave. suave probably left to avoid suspicion? i remember seeing her and her mr cuckolded boyfriend, she was cosying, rubbing her body against mr cuckold and leaning into him talking, on the mrt on our way back, from one of our get togethers. also knows he buys her hundreds dollar worth gifts on her birthday. (actually not very expensive i guess, she is into expensive gifts). ms prettii and mr suave ever played accidental touch ( hand brushing as they both reached for the mouse, then longing looks). she sent him a sticker of fingers touching on group chat before. anyway suave decided to teach us newbies coding in chinese (cos he s

this just came out. his recent songs are getting better, i'm impressed. metaphors and imagery on point. flying, running barefoot, looking back, blackened nails, tears in sleep, warm bright sunlight, dancing alone, flying free like a bird i relate to this because my life is to be honest, so-so in the friends department and non existent in the romance department.  i don't feel like really sad, or regret, or i need to change it. friends are busy and settled down,  some are less able to provide a listening ear (maybe to them it is childish, immature, or being listened to means you have have to reciprocate so maybe not, they have theirs at home already, they are stressed and have no more bandwidth for anything else).  that is the reality of being an adult. maybe the occasional sympathy and warmth from a colleague or friend or stranger. but that doesn't do it for me. i don't need the superficial. and i feel it is so easy to have values not align one day, or per
