Sounds like a good multi-vote poll.  Are you
- interested or work in the space industry
- interested in science fiction
- interested or work with comics
- interested in fantasy
- able to get a job in the computer/IT industry
- artistic
- left handed
First job was for NASA as an engineer/materials scientist
Read & watch scifi extensively and worked as a Video editor on the classic series of Dr who (after retaining for broadcast)
have of course read Neil Gaimans Sandman series
Read & Write fantasy - favourites are the Darkover series by MZB and The Hollows series by Kim Harrison
Have previously worked as a software engineer and It manager
Am moderately artistic and highly creative
Am ambidextrous. (I am strictly left handed by preference but was taught to use my right so now functionally ambi)

I guess I almost score a full house! :D What is my prize? lol

- I'm absolutely horrible at freehand art but I am extremely creative.  I've drawn a couple of comic strip-like pieces for people before but my process was absolutely excruciating and time-consuming.  Never doing that again!

- I know my way around computers pretty well but I can't say I could ever get hired into IT or be much interested.  Ironically I still know more about the computer infrastructure in my workplace than any of my colleagues.

- I like sci-fi in general, enough to have watched most of the Star Trek franchise and read some of the novels, but I can't take much Doctor Who.  I've previously worked in various creative capacities in the TV/film industry on numerous sci-fi/fantasy productions, which was fun certainly, but I wasn't responsible for selecting the genre of the projects.

- Space is kinda interesting.  There's a good chance that I'll be able to afford a recreational trip to space within my lifetime.  Maybe even to the moon at the rate things are advancing.  Sadly I probably won't live to see levitating cars, at least in the sense everyone envisions.  But hey, at least we sorta got hover-boards!

- I'm strongly right-handed but, oddly, have become much more ambidextrous during transition.

I like lighthearted sci-fi Dr Who, firefly, not into sci-fi that tries to be serious.

As far as programming goes I managed to get the antenna channels programmed on my tv, but really no interest.

I have been known to be artistic but not lately.  Definitely creative though.

I never worked for anything to do with space, does aircraft mechanic count?  I would love to see the day when space travel is a normal thing.

Pathetically useless with my left hand (unless there is a wrench in it).  I ride a wake board and skate board goofy foot.
