yeah, yeah. I'm going back to my shitty campus job. this time, however, I'm playing on my terms.
it's funny; knowing that I'm employed with such a cheap, blundering, unethical company has, in fact, set me free. they just "promoted" several of my friends by giving them more responsibility and no corresponding increase in pay. talk about a steaming pile with a shiny bow on top. if they want me to do a note-perfect job by dangling the carrot of a "promotion" in front of me, then they're more than welcome to piss up a rope. I'm only in it to pay off bills and get free coffee around campus.
I went the extra mile last year, running and closing a coffee shop by myself, so I don't feel slack about wanting to chill out a bit. I'm also not working towards any specific goals. life is now more open-ended and less weighed down. the other side of the coin can be nice, too.
all I'd like is a good senior year. positive challenges, and a bit of direction without being trapped on any one path. |
