getting a job...
everyone makes out that working is great... but it is not... free time? forget it... time to write your magmum opus? How about weekends... when the passion of the free flowing fiction bites you at four in the morning in the rain, on a monday, you have to desist, knowing the world of work beckons with its bony fingers...
if you don't have to work, can get by without it... yahoo! (not the conglomerate- I use Yahoo here in its pure sense- as an expresssion of joy...)
work takes many forms... creating art (doodling on scrap paper), researching religion online (visiting C-R), cooking (adding water to pot noodles)... all is work!
real hard work is for peasants ONLY... it is a sign of great status not to work, to be idle poor/rich, navel gaze all day, pontificate, dream and scheme... this "no-work-yet-food-in-cupboard-plus-free-roof-over-head" kind of lifestyle is the Holy Grail of bums and hippies and economic migrants the world over...
millions of people are not wrong...
unfortunately, this behaviour is not espoused by polite (capitalist) society, unless you are of Regal loins, as if we all did nothing society would collapse...
and so you feel you should work, or have to work... to give yourself some role to play, something to say when you meet new people...
it's rubbish to meet new ppl, and they ask what you do for a living, and you say- I am on welfare... it is rubbish when they run away, careful to pick up their bags while casually inspecting your inner arms for the signs of needle abuse...
instead, voluntary work is often useful... you can bum about still, but have purpose, even if it is only illusory, and you also get the social cachet with comes from flogging yourself tirelessly for the poor and needy!
AND It helps you to get girls! (or boys, should they be your preference)... especially in todays eco-fair trade friendly enviroment...
AND you can do a minimum of a day a week, and still reap the rewards...
...good luck to you though lads, with your job hunting (suckers...!!!)
