anyway to completely digress from all-nighter fuelled semi-poetic character analysis

personal life is rapidly approaching the point of impossibility

yes thank you i know i need a job to get anywhere and it's unfair to expect parents to completely support me when i'm perfectly healthy and the things i need to go into serious theatre aren't exactly cheap

so uh

still waiting to find one single job outside the creative arts that can be performed while being:

lazy, selfish, socially nonfunctioning, irresponsible, unable to maintain focus on boring/repetitive tasks, conflict-averse to the extent of shutting down when confronted, completely irregular sleep schedule, allergic to routine that involves more than a couple scheduled events per week, unsuited to manual labour, and oh yeah absolutely terrible at interviews

"you're such a good teacher" thank you. i've been a student. not going anywhere near a room full of kids.

"you said yourself you want to work with animals" i do. i'm also nowhere near responsible enough to be in charge of caring for little squishy things that could die if my attention wanders.

"waitress -" spent years going to restaurants with the kind of person who annoys waiters. wouldn't be one if it were the only job on earth.

"cashier -" just a less intense version of waitress. and anyway i'd never be able to sit there for hours doing the same thing over and over.

it's awfully touching that people have faith in me but i do think i know my own flaws.

okay that was rough. have a fairfax.

#that post going around like what would you do on the leftist commune #(bunch of jobs with the only other option being too disabled to work)#glad to know there's no place for me in your utopia i guess #though considering how readily people online dehumanise those they see as contributing nothing to society it's not surprising #oh you see in our ideal world everyone will be happily employed because they'll have the job that fits them #very nice. what about people for whom there is no such job.#who just want to sit there in an artists' colony and have all their needs met because they're too lazy to do anything else.#but i suppose a perfect society has no more quarter for parasites than the system it's meant to escape from. only fair after all.#'you're just too pessimistic to believe people are generally nice enough to make it work because you're selfish and live off others'#fine. i'm a bad person. i admit it. is your society going to cast out everyone who doesn't - wait i've seen this on tng #don't suppose it really matters i guess #us useless little parasites get left behind either way #and nobody cares #because why would you want to look out for a perfectly healthy person who simply can't be bothered to pull their own weight #and you can only live off others for so long however kind they start out as #but of course we know that only the rich evil capitalists do that #and there's no such thing as people who would do it in a perfect society if they had the ability #so who cares right
