    Every time someone asks in an interview what one of my weaknesses is, i mention how I often will focus on technical task far too in depth, basically try to flip my hyper focus into a strength. But it kind of is. It’s honestly made me a great engineer. Then again, my anxiety has made being an engineer more difficult. It’s called balance.

      This was “fun” when I had no choice but small-shop retail, because I’d get assigned a task that required some thinking and doing, and then get nagged because I didn’t just insta-drop everything in the middle of a thought to hop down from the ladder to go all genius-bar-Willy-Wonka at some shop-zombie that just shuffled in and probably didn’t even know why they entered, much less “What I could help them find.”
