My internal clock is all ruined. I'm up anyway. You might as well know.
I have to get up and go to my dumb job tomorrow. I like my dumb job, of course, but I think the honeymoon may be over. A few days ago a woman said, "You're a genius!" when I looked at her and said "Don't you already have a haircut card?" I suppose it was nicer than saying, "You're not a simpleton! Way to perform this very basic task competently." Nah, she was being nice, I know, and didn't mean anything by it, but it was indeed the most ingenious thing I'd done at that job in a while. It's also about the highest genius level that my job allows me to shoot for.
If I were a more virtuous person, I'd have a better job by now. I hate job hunting, though. I hate working on my resume, and I hate interviews. Most days, it seems a lot easier to keep doing my dumb, pleasant job, accept my peanuts at the end of the week, and repeat endlessly.
My sister speculates that it's a side affect of having parents who didn't have jobs for the early part of our respective childhoods, but I'm just not inclined to have career ambition. I think being homeschooled for a bunch of years has a lot to do with it, too. I still feel like I'm above the law, and that I don't have to do what others do.
I am used to creative, self-directed activities that let me really actualize myself and develop my personality. I mean activities like watching Green Acres reruns. I mean naps.
And there you go. I'm just typing, here, but that's a perfect, serendipitous way to transition to the end of this entry. I slept for most of this, my one weekend day off, and now I can't sleep, but I have to try now, otherwise I will never be able to do any feats of reception genius tomorrow. posted by Frenz | 3/07/2005 04:07:00 AM
