work, tricks...same difference

These past couple of days I've spent some time looking for jobs in NYC since I'm moving there in a couple of weeks. It's a bit frustrating at times because I have no real skills that jump out and beat the crap out of other candidates. I mean there was the one time I beat up 10 bodybuilders for staring at my girlfriend but that's not really a skill as much as it is adrenaline...and a lie. You start asking yourself am I really good at stuff or do I just suck as a human being. Can I not answer the phones and take messages? I did graduate from college. Shouldn't I have a better chance than others that didn't graduate college. That's why I went to college. To get ahead. These days it feels more like I'm giving it than getting it.

As your self worth decreases with every job application so do your standards for jobs. I started looking at some cool PR jobs and some Assistant jobs...you know, typical desk blue collar jobs. I ended up looking for warehouse jobs, security guard jobs, and, my all-time favorite, Male Gigolo jobs. I joke sometimes about turning tricks once I move to NYC...I should really stop joking.
