    Smoke sign? o.O What kind of a job did you apply for?

    No, seriously, what kind of job?

    A few, actually. Mostly hotel stuff, nothing fancy.

    Yourself?

    It's not that it's hard to find one, I just can't be bothered.

    I can imagine worse things than working in a hotel, though. Is it just for the summer?

    Me...ah... I'm sort of scared of interviews. So I've taken the approach of acting out the attached interviews in my head before putting forward an application. Unfortunately, the fact that I have something of an inferiority complex means that I can't live up to my own standards.

    In other words, I'm lazy, and it's easier to just admit defeat in advance.

    Mm, I guess. I'm increasingly thinking that I might like to be a writer. But it's really just because I could work from home, work to my own hours, and do something that I like doing. There's no logical reason for me to gravitate to such a path, nothing beyond the fulfilment of my own petty desires.

    Oh, I guess eleven hours of that might not be so bad. I was thinking something service-industry-ish. I almost wanted to kill myself after just a month of eight hour HMV shifts.

    It's for as long as they'll keep me or until I find better elsewhere. I just want the money to leave this place. Kind of getting tired of my surrounding. I need to see different people and places.

    It's so easy. You just answer the questions either honestly or by telling them what they want to hear. No more, no less.

    Been there, still doing that.

    That's what we all want, though. Go you.

    Should be done in 35~ minutes.

    Nah, its pretty sweet, I bring a radio with me and I'm allowed to do what I like (provided I get the work done) so I'm just there with a spindle of cds playing music while painting, quite relaxing

    Oh? Nice. Where are you going to go? Scotland?

    My problem is that I find one to one conversations daunting even under normal circumstances. So when I know that the other person is analysing my responses and assessing me, it's...

    And I guess so. I'd probably suck as a writer anyway. Even if I was the most fantastically talented author to have come around in years, I'm way too lazy to motivate myself to write without someone looking over my shoulder.

    Awesome. =o
