The Lost Engineer

Why lost?

We live in a rapidly expanding universe, in a galaxy that shaped itself into a spiral, next to a star that can knock out our entire way of life if it feels like launching some energy our way.
There are so many problems to find solutions for, mysteries to solve, machines to build, and yet, I'm bored.
I quit my job at a large company that I worked at for years because I was tired of the work. Bored of working on "revolutionary" technology which ended up getting scrapped because they weren't making enough money on it. Not revolutionary enough I guess. I moved on to a smaller organization, more power, more control, I'm not just a cog in the machine. But now I'm too busy, and still somewhat bored. Some days are more exciting than others. But still I find myself here, all this knowledge and ability, but nothing I really feel like I'm a part of. I'm just working for money, but I've lost interest in the work. What's worse is I don't have an interest in anything else. I often have small projects that I work on in place of work that get no recognition, aren't useful to anyone, and really just waste my time. But when I don't have one of these projects, I have nothing.

And so, I feel lost. Working to work and sometimes working as a hobby. A lost engineer building for the sake of building. I'll share some of my future works with you, if you're interested.
