| | ...And eventually I knew I'd get fed up with bumming around and, well... I'm pretty much fed up.
But.
My back is still giving me issues, and my lung is not healing anywhere
NEAR as quickly as it needs to. Manual labor of any kind nearly makes
me sick, not to mention I have no stamina whatsoever, and anything
physically stressful always makes my back act up. I've been on
opiates for my pain for so long that my doses are at long-term addict
levels now - if my doctor hadn't been our family doctor since I was
about 12 I'd have real trouble getting meds. To make matters worse,
if I let the muscle stress build up it starts to keep me awake... When
I hurt bad enough that it makes me moan involuntarily - I hurt bad.
*shrug*
So, I have to find a job that I can do, but who wants to
hire an uneducated guy with long hair and a stutter? No one. No one at
all.
And all because I don't have some godforsaken sheet of
fancy paper that says I'm $200,000 in debt for four years of
mind-numbing college lectures by professors stupider than I am. I'm
still too proud to go to college and play their stupid games. Maybe I'm
just as arrogant as they are, but I don't get why being smart and
intelligent is a detriment to getting a job. Why is everything in this
world about conformity and mindless servitude?
So I either be
free and jobless and sit here wasting my life away, or I go into debt
and screw away endless hours of my life learning to pretend to agree
with some moron and his plainly asinine views just because he's got a
phd at the end of his name.
Or, I get some cheap and dead-end
job here - except mexicans who can't even speak english are hired over
me, so there's not even any guarantee that I'd get hired for a minimum
wage job.
Not to mention that I'd rather be in Chicago. |
