I only hit fast apply to the first 3 jobs i saw on indeed because I have a fucking job I just want unemployment to pay me to sit around all summer like is my god given right (if they don't want school employees between terms to get money... maybe tell me Im not eligible!) but the state I live in has this dumb fucked to death work search requirement of three work related contacts per week or else I don't get paid
Anyway, one of them was for a private chef gig in a small suburb of the city i work in. They listed fuckin $14-17 per hour as the wage. To be a private chef running this client's kitchen. What??? I make $17.50 now to cook 3 dishes for 40-50 people and sit on my phone all day when they're not eating my food. If some bourgeois prick wants me to be their personal chef man like I think that's a $24/hr job minimum compared to what i have now
Anyway, fuck my job, fuck new jobs, fuck the unemployment office, can't wait to get paid for the week of nothing i did last week!
I was fired a few months ago, hired, then fired again, and now have another job which is leaving me pretty exhausted, but the job itself is the easiest gig I've had in awhile, with better pay but no benefits. I'm still kind of longing for unemployment though. Like, comfortable unemployment lol. Where you just don't have to worry about anything. I know that when I am inevitably unemployed again, this will sound totally ridiculous because unemployment is annoying and stressful for countless reasons to say the least (and in our society we seem worthless if we aren't making money for epsteinists), but being able to sleep enough every day, being able to exercise every day, being able to think creatively every day, being able to practice guitar and cook new food and write and think up new ideas and generally pursue hobbies every day, this is a big deal.
I was at my last job for two years and it was driving me nuts, and I knew it was driving me nuts, but I didn't know how much it was driving me nuts. When they fired me, it obviously sucked, but it also led to a kind of opening and relaxation in my mind, I guess. I didn't need to spend most of my waking life worrying about that fucking job anymore.
Unemployment is stressful, I wish it didn't have to be. Also, it would be nice to have a job that actually makes the world a better place while allowing me to exist, but alas.
