Maybe I watch too much


I noticed the neighbors outside for the 4th of July celebration. Multiple neighbors. Next door mentioned that they had come over and knocked to see if I was home to come out and watch them shoot off fireworks. At a distance, handed me a sparkler. Not quite sure what to do with that. Wave it about and enjoy the contrast against the night sky but there's really not too much exiting about a sparkler. Infinity symbol pattern by default. I noticed that I don't have much to say. I listen to the neighbors interact and understand everything that they exchange. There is no new information and I'm not sure that anything I have to say would be of interest based on the conversation. I'm quietly observing for some time. Next door engages and asks how the job hunt is going. I can't say that it's going great as there aren't any jobs that seem remotely interested. Even the recruiters that I give my resume to don't seem to be reading it or aware of what it is about. Then I mention the mushroom farm. Finally,  I'm excited about something and have something to say. Thoughts, ideas, more than just watching and discomfort that the INT<J> brings. 

Maybe the excitement of the mushroom farm is working for myself to bring something to others that has value.

Here, I found what looked like a perfect job. Enter Stryker! A Sr Supplier Quality Engineer position with a leader in the field. One of the early interviews was a Gallup interview that instantly felt like a failure and left my confidence in ruin. Turns out, it wasn't that bad and they wanted to go ahead with the team interviews. These went much better and it sounded like they had decided they wanted to hire me based on my resume and qualifications alone. How thrilling! What a compliment! I was even able to get to the offer table without naming a price. The price they came to me with was below what I was currently at so they decided to r...
