Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done.

Integration would look like: I could travel to JHU hospital; and likely be well compensated, but that would mean leaving my dependencies here and walking away from my job to be a contract worker. There will a mutually satisfying solution.
Getting closer to a solution.

Of course, I lubricate my workplace with bids. They are coarse and malleable that way, most of the time. Most can be very committed and act with the proper intentions, but when they are rebellious, they are terrible.
