my_window_seatCalled and left message to set up interview for a work-study position in the 'Reading Kids Count!' program.
Selfishly, I've wanted to save my do-gooder energy for getting through school first, then expending it later by being a teacher.
I didn't want a work-study job with any serious responsibility right now - but it's either getting something else away from this idiot or snapping one day and ending up with yet another blot on my work history.
And I guess it's pretty lame to keep doing a job that I don't care much about. Anything I'm not happy doing, I don't do to my full ability - so might as well do something that really matters to me and do it decently.
Unless I really am as much of a complete f*ck-up as I feel like I am most days - in which case I shouldn't even be in school at all with the idea of one day working with young malleable minds. I should just go back to painting pottery full-time until I go completely f*cking apeshit and make good on the previous check-out attempt. Hey - practice makes perfect.
Not a good day for me today, obviously. Hey, want me to teach your kid how to read?
The whiplash isn't helping. Darn that signpole for leaping behind my car. Bastard...
[Editor's Note: No, the above is not sarcasm. I think it is pretty selfish not to want to take on work that really is more helpful in the big picture (than labeling microfiche), even though it is less stressful. Particularly when I b*tch about how rotten the world is today, if I'm not doing something to make it even a teensy bit better - I really need to STFU.]
