[A Better Tomorrow]

So right now I am working one part-time job...(I actually just quit my other retail job because I just got fed up and said fuck it), and have been applying to jobs for the past five months for about 2 hours a day with no luck. I have pretty much given up the search and my mom tells me she has a friend that works for this company that is hiring. I figure what the hell, so I send in my resume. I spoke to my dad earlier, he said to me, "If you get a job there that would be great, you could work there for 25 years, then retire, that place is known for having lifers." Shouldn't I have been happy with this statement he made? Well, it made me want to puke and caused me to go into deep thought mode about the meaning of life. If I got the job, I will make great money, but for what? And for 25 years going to the same place everyday? This does not sound like a good life. I want to make it in music and if I am not able to support myself playing music by my early thirties I really don't want to go on living.

I sound like Hunter Thompson or something.

I don't think anyone should be happy with that statement. Unless you have zero ambition and your entire life planned out ahead of you, you should just acknowledge that it'll be a secure job until you find something you're passionate about. Perhaps go there with a plan of staying there for X amount of years and see what happens?

My dad worked in the same place for almost 35 years and since he retired he's been a completely different person (in a good way). If I was doing anything for that long (a job, hobby, pretty much ANYTHING) I'd tear my hair out.

PS. I like your sig, too! So true (sometimes... not always though).
