| i got a new job :sunglasses:
after a good nine-month cycle of laziness, self-loathing, writing, self-loathing, laziness, uncertainty about the future, laziness and self-loathing, i've found something that might break the mould. to celebrate: here's a list of digs so deep they reach the earth's core. | 1 | | pospulenn sun people sleepwalker
i am working at a bar with no prior hospitality experience because i have mastered the art of bullshitting my way into things apparently......no!!! the faintest whiff of nepotism does not help!!! how dare you!! | 2 | | francis harris minutes of sleep
me: hello good evening may i take your order
manager, suddenly: oi who are you and what are you doing behind the bar | 3 | | women public strain
i'm fairly sure i've forgotten how to communicate verbally so this shall be interesting | 4 | | paysage d'hiver kristall und isa
i also have to wear my hair in a bun and let me tell you fellas: i look like a recovering meth addict who's chosen a life of coffee with soy milk/listening exclusively to bands that haven't formed yet | 5 | | four tet rounds
my latent appreciation for idm carried me to and from the interview this morning, which only took about two minutes before the manager said: "yeah you seem alright mate, come back next week for induction, cheers!".......i'm still expecting more follow up questions and/or a camera crew to jump out of the bushes as if i've been pranked tbqh | 6 | | the body no one deserves happiness
ironically, my current mantra is something along the lines of: idodeservehappinessidodeservehappinessidodeservehappinessidodeservehappinessidodeservehappinessidodeservehappiness | 7 | | cursed II
already holding out for the day doing this job morphs slowly and subtly into just another routine, and i can stop micro-managing my interactions with people i don't know; i will stare at the planes departing through the terminal window and feel not envy nor worry. | 8 | | des ark everything dies
oink oink dishpig | 9 | | oxbow king of the jews
if i get fired i'm thinking the most likely reason will be one of the following:
a) singing jenny hval lyrics too loudly
b) slipping alcohol into a child's soft-drink
c) slipping soft-drink into an adult's alcoholic drink
d) telling someone who doesn't care one too many times, that my internet friends and i got a little bit gay over the weekend | 10 | | ishome confession
me: hi how are you!
customer: good, how are you?
me: yeah great, how are you?

09.11.17 | welcome to the bartending life, jack.. the first six months will be more fun than you'll ever have.. followed by bags-under-your-eyes, poetic gloominess and intermittent violence shuffle.. it'll be amazing! you'll get stories for writing aplenty though.. | verdant

On another note I've always used a ponytail to control my hair. The other day I made a manbun for ironic fun. Like that's some hipster bullshit. But the gf thought it was sexy af.
So now I have an identity crisis. | AsleepInTheBack
