I tried to nap this afternoon instead of interacting with my family over dinner.
It should have been a simple, perfect plan.
Just lie one's head down, fall asleep -> Win.
Instead I get an hours worth of them listing out every fault under the sun about how I'm inferior to everyone else and don't deserve to be called a human.
And while I'll be the first to admit I'm not perfect. That I've made my share of mistakes in the past. AND that I don't know the future and how I fit into it. I don't feel that any of these warrants the verbal assaults I suffer while residing here.
The simple key of course is to gtfo. And yes I'd love to. You would not believe how much I want to just close my eyes and be some place half-way around the globe or country from here.
But obviously I can't. I can however force myself to write and revise my resumé a few hundred more times. Each time trimming off the thinnest layer of darkness from it and subsequently adding a bit more pizzaz.
And maybe somewhere out there, a company will pick it up and suddenly realize that I'm pretty awesome. They'll send me an email, phone me, and or request an interview in person... And suddenly I have a job. *giggles*
Ah the dream.
Yes I have to dream. It's what keeps me alive in these uncertain and painful present.
