Each time some company rejects you...

...and they have no idea what you're building towards and how good you're going to be.

In addition to Research Engineering, this: Is exactly what I want to do, if I don't decide to bridge next into cybersecurity or embedded. I would just work here and never leave until my writing took off. Or even just not leave even when it does.  Fully remote and at the intersection of tech, math, code, physics, and art. Also, I use Adobe's software on a daily basis.  If by a miracle I got an interview, well -- I'd be studying out the wazoo for it.

4w5 and 5w4: science and art

So enneagram theory IS pseudoscience, and has an uncomfortably large overlap with people who think that astrology is actually legitimate. However, reading the 4w5 descriptions as a high school senior / college freshman lent itself to such painful accuracy for me that I realized that there was probably much more to this theory than what was on the surface. As Owl City says, "life is quite surreal", and I wouldn't believe in God or soulmates or life on other planets if I took everything at face value. So, I study enneagram theory anyway, woo and all.

Get the letter F size, which is 0.5mm as recommended. That's why I bought them today.  Here is what the pen looks like unopened. My issue was that I was dealing with the pens that weren't pre-packaged.  Open the outer packaging, if applicable:  And now we see that looks can be deceiving, because we are going to UNSCREW THE WRONG END OF THE CAP. Yes, that's right, the smaller end of the pen is for ink refills, not drawing, and cannot be opened without pliers. The larger end is where the tip of the pen is, which is naturally counterintuitive.  And boom, it's opened. Hopefully, I saved someone else from standing stupidly for ten minutes in Hobby Lobby while trying to unscrew the wrong end of the pen.  THE END
