Juggling Numbers isn't Processing Them

Getting better at work makes me realize who I take after in the family, and  that's  my mom. She's juggles numbers intuitively and compulsively as an accountant.  By juggling I don't mean she can calculate very fast, but has a rather large bunch of ratios and values memorized and has a broad range of experience which allows her to guess where to best apply these values.

It dawned on me when i wrote about my gaming style. To me its a fantasy, an escape, to be in a world i can say no to a bad idea. In an rpg, saying no to the gm can stall or destroy the momentum of a game, my gaming style is what other gms call a sandbox, or what i'd prefer to call organic ( its alive without much need for the gm to take care of it),and is highly resilient at the trade off of having a greater prep cost. So it is a big deal for me and when i play to have a choice, it doesnt meant the gm cant convince me to go this or that direction, its just that, i can weigh the facts and have that option to say no. right now im in a point of my life that i know what i need to get what i want.
