Stage 4 Day 2 (0)
Feeling optimistic. This stage had been much gentler than stages 2 and 3 so far. From what I remember stage 3 started gentle as well, so we'll see how it goes.
Much of my optimistic outlook stems from my vacation. I said I asked my boos for a week off and he obliged. Sometimes one needs to hide his pride and recuperate and this was such a time for sure. I'm much sharper now, more motivated and eager for everything. I could do some work during the weekend but no, rest is rest and I'll start my struggles Monday morning. It doesn't mean I cannot work, it just means I will work only on stuff that brings me joy. It's such a shame I cannot focus on these when other stuff hangs on your shoulders as well.
On Tuesday I'll have an interview for that new job opportunity. Again, it will be just a scholarship and if I'll continue in that direction I'll start working for them properly next Autumn or late Summer. Anyhow there are good reasons to be optimistic on that front as well. The more research I do the more I like the prospects. This job will never become my passion like the old one, but it will be fun regardless. You also get this whole corporate safe zone vibe which is also interesting. While being white male being diabetic may give me some diversity quota there.
Interestingly when the HR person called to me I had all the schedule for interviews from their side free. I knew that interviews will be conducted entire next week (Mo-Fr) but I was surprised I can choose my own date and hour. I assume (or want to assume) my CV was on the very top of the list and they called me first or almost first. It's funny how with 0 experience in corporate world I can get far with my skills alone.
Don't wanna go in that direction in this post but I cannot help but wonder how many serendipitous things happened that led me to this path. How seemingly random stuff brought me to decisions that shape my fate now and how safer, more "ordinary" decisions might have give me so much less options now.

For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.
