Dear Sentient Matter,
I always try new fields of work as if I am the main character of a wunderkind coming of age movie - you know the ones where there's always one scene where the main character trys to get into an internship despite perceived lack of experience due to being young and the main character is like "hey, you know that problem your team has been working on for weeks to solve - I solved it in 10 minutes with a banana and a toothbrush." And then the humble college freshman gets promoted to ceo the next day.
Turns out that is a terrible way to try to get an internship in real life.
I stood 2 hours in line at an engineering job fair to talk to SpaceX just to completely choke and talk about how my two goals in life were to "work on a team that builds things that go into space and become a well known singer/songwriter and then I handed over my resume with a hastily scrawled "Sentient Chemicals" and then a sub par doodle of the Spotify logo.
This is not a proud moment for me.
Apparently I am not a wunderkind
Apparently I'm just a kind
One of a kind
Ha
No wondrous, just a lot last lithing thing with basic human rights and needs and deserves to meet those needs without being special
Some of this is obvious to some people but I am processing this for myself.
That's all for this evening
Good bye Sentient Matter, you matter.
P.S. here is a picture of my pad Thai container because I think I fucked up my soup ok goodnight.
