I mean every word of that title, really and truly. I'm humoring everyone when it comes to looking for a job but I've basically thrown in the towel. Finding a decent part time or full time job is a battle that can't be won, so why the hell should I even bother anymore?
Now I know some of you are telling me that taking a shit wage job is better than giving up, but let's be real here: No one is going to notice skills with computers, websites, photo restoration, printing or PC repair skills from the guy bagging groceries for impatient, bitchy and outright ungrateful customers. I'm sure the average retail or minimum wage worker would argue the same point if they weren't forced to work themselves to death.
The reason I take such issue with this is because of the fact that I went to school to escape the kind of bullshit and abuse I faced myself, and I'm not going back just to make a few right leaning kossacks a bit more comfortable while praying to the Magical Hand of the Market that someone in management actually notices me.
I've been everywhere in the shit wage world from bagging groceries to fast food to washing dishes for 20 dollars a week if I was lucky. I'm not doing it again. Those who tell me to go back can kindly be fruitful and multiply.
See you around,
Homer
