I didn't know where to post this

It’s amazing. I get assigned more projects at work, but I am no more busy than I was. They ask me to hit the ground standing still, not running, so I continue to waste my time there. And elsewhere, in my real life, I am likewise only occupied, not engaged. So I guess that’s “balance between work and life.” I’m looking for partnership, involvement, high-energy fun and work and creativity, and it turns into window shopping rather than what I want. I had a call about a job interview for a job I have absolutely no interest in, that I tried almost intentionally to fail on the written. And yet they call me. What the fuck are they thinking?

A friend of mine wants me to apply at Paypal. How engaged do you think I’d be there? I’d be busy, maybe. That’s about it. But I’d better do something, because my work ethic’s turning as sour as is my hope for something better.

But I voted today. I voted for people I don’t know anything about. That’s what America wants from me. Show up. Shut up. Cast yourself on our rocks. Remember: Cynicism is obedience.

Ask any Iraqi.
