This is Not the About Me You Are Looking For ...
So, you won’t find any boasting about what I can do here or me trying to ‘sell’ myself (ick).
Just a crash course into understanding Sam (that’s me there), the owner of LucidFox.
I’m Yorkshire born and bred, tea addicted (Yorkshire tea, obviously), and a bit sweary (sometimes the f-bombs just fall out of my mouth without thinking about it).
I’m afflicted with a sense of humour; as you can probably tell from the rest of the site, sometimes my jokes fall like a lead balloon,* and honestly, if you don’t like my jokes or my ‘witty banter’ we probably aren’t a good fit for each other.
My brain is filled with memes and other obscure references. I’ve actually been offended when someone didn’t respond with “General Kenobi” when I said, “Hello there.”
I have what you might call eclectic music tastes—we’re talking heavy metal to K-pop. And I’m a bit OCD with a heavy sprinkle of ADHD (squirrel!).
And to cap it all off, I’m a gamer too! Though not as much as I used to be, due to lack of time.
* It was a ‘spicy’ dating site, and they wanted 3 shades of grey with red buttons. Sadly, ‘What, not 50 shades?’ fell out of my mouth without thinking while we were discussing the colour scheme.
What I'm Good at..
Non-Tech Speech
All those years of working in IT support have trained me not to talk in tech jargon so I make things less complicated for you to understand.
Detail Orientated
It might be the OCD but I pick up on the little things you might not have thought about, and you know the design will be spot on cos if it isn't it will irk me and I won't sleep.
Keeping on Schedule
My Grandfather always taught me if you are not 15 minutes early you are late, so my scheduling reflects this. Meetings or Milestones I'll usually be a bit early.
Thinking Outside the Box
Run something past me give me a couple of days to mull it over and its likely I'll have found a way to achieve what you are after.
Keeping on Budget
I'm Yorkshire we are well known for being tight-fisted so I do my best to keep within the budget, if you are asking for the moon on a stick though i might have to disappoint you.
Customer Support
I honestly will put you first, I love helping people and my core clients have been with me for years! One has been with me for nearly 15 years so I must be doing something right.
What I'm Not so Good at..
Updating My Own Stuff
Can you believe I've been putting this website redesign on a back burner for over a year. I always find more important things to do, but usually its work for clients.
Social Situations
I'm a full-blown introvert. The first call we have together, I'll probably be a nervous wreck and talk too fast or something (sorry)
Being an Adult
Apparently working in my PJ's till lunch time is not how an adult functions. I think adulting is overrated.
Words
Words are hard, I'm no copywriter. I can pull something out of the bag if needed but I rely on you to talk about your business I can then make it web ready.
Not Swearing
Seriously I swear like a sailor, might have been due to actually spending my formative years sailing as a sport/hobby though to be fair most of that time was falling in the cold water.
tl;dr
Sam is a bit crazy but knows her stuff.
