it's really pathetic that i don't want to work

[dragonlady7]

I've just had two days off and I just don't want to go to work today. It's probably not going to be bad today. Work has been quite good lately. i just don't want to go. i've had plenty of time away in the last couple of weeks, and I'm just a big pathetic baby because it makes me want to work even less.
I just spent a whole bunch of money yesterday, though, so my smug sense of financial well-being really ought to have slipped away and returned to me my former hunger to go to work to get money. It really hasn't, but it ought to. Any moment now. ...

It just underscores the fact that I am unexceptional and lazy. I had figured that someday I would find something I was so good at that I'd actually enjoy going to work and find it a challenge and that sort of bullshit, and it's sad to confront the fact that no, I'm a waitress.
Eh well.

I keep wondering, now-- all those people who hear that I'm an English major and say, "You should be a teacher!"-- I always answer "No, I shouldn't. My mom's one and it's way harder than I want to work."
But maybe I should. I'd get to be unemployed three months a year. Maybe I'd finish something then.

... But I hate kids. So there's that.

Also, teaching is hard, and I seem to be a very lazy person.

My best friend hates kids, almost certainly more than you do, but this does not seem to prevent her from working as a kiddie dance teacher and speech therapist.

I don't think it helps to like kids. I love kids. But after a few hours with 'em, I hate them. So you're really just starting off the same way you'd end up anyway.
