Those damn gremlins! I work with some and they are obnoxious indeed. Thankfully I don’t get into contact with them too often otherwise I would get very frustrated lol.
It sounds like you’ve got plenty of prospects but that’s a great thing. It’s good to be choosy for a role if you left one that you were good at but bored with. Shaking things up keeps it fresh and can lead to some enjoyable years of work instead of numbing dreary just to get a paycheck.
