Then I'm recommending Group Theory in Physics by J.F. Cornwell for when you'll find that elusive 'free time' people bring up. It's three volumes, 1st one is a solid introduction to the 'slightly more formal group theory'. There's also some abridged version that picks only the meaty bits out of vol 1 and 2 which I found as a handy reference for most of the courses with 'quantum' in the name.

    Sounds like you're a very expensive motion detector!

It's a living. I get money for sitting with a choice between being idle or working on my stuff. Could have turned out a lot worse.

Really, the main reason for my butthurt is the number of rejections. You'd think that after 21 technical interviews I'd get something because of human error if nothing else. Doesn't help that the main insight I got from people boils down to either having no skills to speak of or possessing the least compatible personality since the times of pharaoh Assholetep.
