Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, with the palm facing your body and fingers pointing to the side. Form your dominant hand into an open '8' handshape by keeping your fingers spread and bending your middle finger forward. Tap the tip of your dominant middle finger against the bottom edge (pinky side) of your non-dominant hand twice.
Sign 'manual', then 'too much', followed by 'technical', and finish with 'understand' while shaking your head to indicate difficulty.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'need', then 'call', followed by 'technical', and finally 'support' by pushing your dominant fist up under your non-dominant fist.
Point to the person for 'she', sign 'technical', and then 'skill' by grabbing the edge of your non-dominant hand and pulling away.

Yes! The sign for 'technical' is the exact same sign used for 'technology'. Context usually makes it clear which English word you mean. If you want to sign 'technician', you simply sign 'technical' followed by the 'person' marker (moving both flat hands downward to indicate an individual).
Your dominant hand should do all the moving and tapping. Your non-dominant hand acts as the stationary base and should remain still throughout the sign. If you are right-handed, your right hand will form the open '8' handshape and tap the bottom edge of your left hand.
Yes, location is very important in ASL. You must tap the bottom edge (the pinky side) of your non-dominant hand. Tapping the palm, the back of the hand, or the top edge can change the meaning entirely or make the sign unrecognizable to fluent signers.
