Well, unfortunately I don't get to do that as much anymore and I have to be quiet a lot sometimes. Because sometimes I don't fully agree, but I've also been able to get out in the field and do some things for different clients and see the, the new things that they're doing with, with design and with, with office layouts and stuff like that. That that's been very interesting and, and very fun to see. I mean, luckily with, with the position I'm at, I'm. Typically working with a lot of the, the mainstream architects that are doing really good design. So I still get to see that that probably also is, is the reason sometimes I'm like, do I want to go back into the industry? Do I want to go back and makes me miss it a little bit more? But you know, I've come to the point now that if you would have told me when I left the design side. So I mean, I was a project designer, project architect for almost 17 years. And when I left, if you would have told me that I would enjoy doing what I do as much as I did then because I loved what I did, yeah, I would have said you're crazy. But still, being able to be in the industry and just solve problems in a different way for clients has been really interesting. I mean, I do modeling and, and Revit now and some other things, but how I've learned to add parameters and do some things. Dynamo and the other, I'd have been like, I'd never wanted to do that right when I was a designer. So it's just taking some other different ways to solve problems in a different way. So I've, I've had to take kind of that, you know, to say power of design or to say my, my design that I really want to do and just hone it in a different way to help owners in a different way and provide them a different service. I mean, I love my clients that I have now. I just, I truly enjoy. Working for them, you know, in, in most cases they've brought me in, I'm going to true extension to their team, which which has been great. And I've gotten to to meet and work with a lot of different people that, you know, I never would have per se on the design side. And I've learned something totally different. I mean, I never went through mechanical models and mechanical drawings the way I do now.
