I expected the new job to be slower than manufacturing, but I'm nearly 3 weeks in and I still feel bored. I knew the first week would be slow, a lot of reading and training and such, but I feel like I know enough now I can jump in and start being productive, and whatever I don't know, I'll learn as I go. I'm a "learn-by-doing" person, and I've read/absorbed all I can without making some sort of application of my new knowledge.
Don't get me wrong, I have not for a moment regretted leaving my other job. But I just got so used to the fast pace (even if it meant pulling my hair out) that this is driving me crazy. The other new engineer is already working on design and projects, and he started a week after I did. Granted, he has experience in the spine field, but I've had product development experience in the past too. I'm a quick learner but I don't think my boss is picking up on it, so I sent him an email and asked for more work.
I thought I was learning patience at my last job for toughing it out till the right opportunity came along, but it seems there is still more God has for me to accept. I completely trust that I am in the right place where He has directed me, but - ok, there are no buts with God. Nevermind.
My view of things tends to get skewed when I haven't gotten enough rest or sleep, and last weekend was way too hectic and stressful, and I've been tired all week since. I'm still working on trusting God through all circumstances and curve balls of life.
Here I am, Lord. Use me, teach me, mold me to Your perfection.
