So, yesterday, my boss told me that he started looking for a replacement for me... He has a guy coming in to interview on Friday. That kind of bummed me out--but he and I both knew that I wasn't going to be there for long anyway. How could I, I'm overqualified for the job and I will get bored. So, originally the plan was to just keep me on until a replacement is found and then I'd leave to be replaced with someone less mentally needy and happier in a production job.
Then today he says that he was thinking about hiring me on as a sales engineer, and getting trained (a.k.a. reading a metric shit-ton about material properties and applications) on product recommendations and troubleshooting, while also doing hands on AutoCAD shit for the waterjet, and also production stuff. He was going to talk to the owner and see what was feasible.
Then in the afternoon, I'm cutting this polymer stuff shipped from Germany that costs $36/sq.ft.
. The disc that is cut from the center of the ring (the actual part) is worth $10 in material alone--and it's scrap! Anyway, I'm advising my boss about the yield of the roll, and he calls up the customer to confirm, and he also asks the customer "Hey, you need any smart people over there?"... so I'm going to drop off a resum off tomorrow morning. Yippee.
This would also save oodles of time and gas, as the customer's location is literally a mile down the road from me... how ever will I deal? I guess I'll have to make sure my bike works!
------------------------------------
Enough about work.
I don't process how I'm doing with a situation until afterwards. It's good, because I can enjoy something for what it is in the moment, and then reflect afterwards, without getting into too much analysis during the event. It's also bad because I can get into some deep shit emotionally and not become aware of my position until everything is said and done. I can be calm and fairly even-keel during an intense discussion, and only realize the extent of my state afterwards. A few events in the last week or so have brought that to my attention--I'm trying to harness this and learn from what I feel.
I am definitely a switch. I like bringing other people sensation--that's just fun to watch, but it's also fulfilling a duty and a service to them. I also like to get sensation--that's a little more new to me, but it's definitely enjoyable.
I have a hard time making noise in my bedroom at home. For so many years now, I've been conditioned to being as quiet as I can to not have parents or siblings hear. This has carried on now, it's just that room, too. Speaking of rooms: As soon as my sister moves out to college, I'm switching rooms again. It's ridiculous to be in this tiny tiny room anymore.

I know what you mean about being a switch. I'm generally sub, but sometimes I feel the need to cross over...
