Day In The Life on the Job

“I don’t want to work, but I want all the things.”

“I have all the things, but I have to keep working to afford them, and I don’t want to work, I really want freedom, but I don’t want to lose all the things.”

“The Boomers ruined everything, and I’d rather blame and languish than create a better story for myself. THEY didn’t have to do anything. Everything was just handed to them.”

“My hand’s on a hot stove. It hurts like hell. I don’t want to take my hand off the stove just yet, but I would like to talk to you about it weekly…”

“All the things are stupid, and the people who have all the things are stupid, and bad.” So you don’t wanna have any of the things?” “Well, I mean, I wouldn’t mind having a couple of things. Maybe 3 or 4 things. But not the bad things. And I don’t want to be one of the bad people. Maybe 4 or 5 things.”

“I just wanna have the life I want.” “What do you want?” “Well, you know…I don’t know…all the things, I guess…”

“I can’t seem to follow through on things, or get stuff done when they need to get done. People in my life think I’m lazy, or stupid, or both, and I’m beginning to believe them…Oh, and I have ADHD, but I don’t know it yet. I would never go get tested for that anyway, and I do not want to be  dependent on drugs for the rest of my life. Oh my God, those birds outside are making so much noise!! Do you know what kind they are? What were we talking about?”

“A number of people in my life and a couple former employers think I have a problem with alcohol, but it’s not a problem. I’m here to get them off my ass.”

“I’ve smoked weed several times a day for years. It is NOT a problem, and actually alcohol is WAY worse. I’m just here to talk about being chronically under-employed and these recent panic attacks.”

“The world’s rigged. They’re out to control everything you do.” “So what do you do about that?” “Nothin’. What’s the point. You can’t do nothin’.”

“My partner and I have grown apart.” “Do you talk about that?” “No.” “Does that help?” “I don’t know. Probly not. I don’t know…”
