Introducing Frogman
I am a retired married man enjoying a 'sea change' on the East coast of Australia. My wife of 40+ years has called me Frogman for a while, and I have decided to stick with that name as a nom de plume. I have children and grand-children who I see regularly.
A third of my working life was spent in electronics engineering, mainly working in RADAR, and the rest of the time was spent writing computer applications (apps) for the government and large companies. I was never at a help desk and cannot (or will not) answer questions about how office products work, especially MS Office products.
Most of my employers insisted on testing my IQ, perhaps I look stupid or something, and my EQ, which is probably a good thing as I am nearly as bad as 'Sheldon' for social interaction. One lady who tested my IQ said I had the highest score she had tested. I think she must have tested a lot of low achievers as I am not that good. One interesting test was the Myers-Briggs test where I was considered to be an INTJ. INTJ is an abbreviation used in the publications of the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator to refer to one of the 16 psychological types. According to Myers–Briggs the INTJ represents "The Mastermind". To find out how my mind works either google INTJ or click on this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INTJ

Hi @frogman18. Welcome to Steemit!
This article is clear evidence that you do indeed have a high enough I.Q. Very interesting intro. You will do well here as I believe you have much to talk about , one being why your wife calls you frogman 😂😂. Welcome to Steemit. If you have any questions find me on discord. If you don’t know what discord is then you should be answering questions on why the zero at the beginning on my phone number disappears in excel! 😜
I have seen many extensions to Steemit and I havent yet explored any of them, but I will in time.
Try changing the phone number from number to text 😀
Haha it’s a common problem that I get a lot of questions about excel also. Good answer. Discord started out as a place for gamers to conjugate . Now it’s a place for steemians to do the same. They have bots also and there is a bot called Ginabot that no steemians can live without. It’s your personal secretary . Also there is a dustsweeper bot that. If a guy with no steem power upvotes your post with say 0.001 steem. Steem doesn’t pay out until 0.002so dustsweeper will balance the post to 0.002 automatically and you get paid out. There are many groups on it also. Informationwar may be one you like as you like politics . And I learned all about these little methods in @the hive discord. They people in there ensure a nice little starting point for you and show you how to get Ginabot and dustsweeper etc.

As I said in my intro, I dont do help desk, but I decided to accept your challenge. 😜 I am not keen on chat rooms ever since a hairy ass cop posing as an 11 year old girl tried to seduce me. When I feel more comfortable I may have a look.
