The Job Hunt
Finding work is hard. It really really is. I mean, I suppose they call it the "job hunt" for a reason. In many ways, I feel that me looking for a job, and me going hunting would play out in much the same way.
First off, hunting and job finding are both things that I don't want to do. Ever. They are not fun things to do for a 23 year old princess of a girl. Coincidently, they are also both things that I am terrible at. I have never been hunting, but I am sure both my lack of skill and knowledge on the matter would prove to be a possibly fatal endeavor. I am job hunting, which, by my lack of a job, I think we can also conclude I am terrible at doing.
Based on my minimal research of recalling when my brother and step-dad would go hunting, I think you prepare for animal killing and job finding the same way. You wake up early. You dress yourself so you will blend into your environment (camo or like, a blazer). You attempt to eat a large and protein filled breakfast so you won't be hungry during the journey. You drink a little coffee, but then you're like "nooo, I shouldn't have another cup because then I'm gonna have to pee..."
So off you go. Allllll day. And its BORING. And STRESSFUL. And you keep seeing what you think might be a good 'kill,' but its just a rock. And you think you got one! But then you realize that you missed completely. By the end of the day you are tired, hungry, cold, defeated and feeling like a total failure. Also, you didn't manage to forage any dinner for yourself. You have no carcass and no money. You are very sad.
Although now that I'm thinking about it, maybe actual hunting would be more fun. Actual hunting, or, at least the way my brother does it, would mean that I just get to sit in a tree all day and eat jerky. Job hunting on the other hand is mostly just me hauling my ass around Manhattan, being told time and time again that they're gonna "call me." Yeah, okay. Unless they are all abiding by the 'three day rule,' time like, six I think its safe to say I am still unemployed.
Maybe I will be a bounty hunter... That way I can actually hunt and be employed. I watched Star Wars, I can do that.
If anyone is reading this an wants to offer me a well, or even semi-well, paying job, I accept. That would be great. Thank you so much. To show my appreciation, I will trap you a bear.
