As a recovering IBM Systems Engineer, in one of my former lives, I understand what you mean, Chuck. I fit into that job like a round peg in a square hole...

Anyway, as to composition: angles and curves create dynamism, straight line horizontals and verticals create stability. In a nutshell, if you want to liven up your paintings you should try and pose people and things in arrangements with bold angles or curves.
