So it looks like after two years of looking for a job with varying levels of optimism/effort/self-loathing, I'm at last about to enter the magical world of crappy fast food employment.

I feel like this calls for some sort of coinciding congratulations and condolences. Congratulamentations?

I'd rather stop bathing and go on a spiritual wanderlust across Nepal at that point, but to each their own. Congratulamentations!

The saving graces are that it's a small local business rather than a chain and that I can keep my current slackerly sleep schedule. ...And, y'know, money. I think at this point, any semblance of agency is probably something I need.

Well at least it's a local place, there's not too much indignity in that. My ex worked for a local restaurant for a while, and it was a good time for the most part. It just sucks that it has nothing to do with, you know, your education. But that's liberal arts for you... :/

Yyyeah, seriously, I think the woman I talked to (it was a very informal kind of interview) had me completely pegged from the moment I told her what I'd studied. She also pretty clearly had no illusions that I'm not gonna run the instant I find another job, so that's nice of her!

Congratulamentations! Making money is nice, at least, right?

[eldena]

Honestly, even minimum wage is be more overall moneys than I've ever had in my life. ...Also better motivation to find a better job than sitting around at home is, if only because come summer that joint is going to be a cramped, greasy hellhole.

[eldena]

Man you only commented to try and add more puns.

[eldena]

Or rather portmanteaus, to be fair.

It's true though, employment is good! Fast food kind of sucks. So. condolencheers.
