eventually everyone becomes mature enough that they must venture out into the real world and find a job. whether the job is manual labor or sitting in an office, it is manifest that it must be done. the first step is of course deciding the right job for you and then setting up some interviews. i try to have a maximum of two interviews per day and use taxies as my means of transportation. if i meet with more people than that, i tend to forget which interview is for which job. when i went out for my first batch of interviews, i was on the mend from a bout with the flu. when ill i tend to maltreat chose around me and act mean, so i waited till the end of the illness before meeting potential employers.
i finally landed a job working for the government in a building across from the lincoln memorial in washington. the salary was a mere $22,000 per year, but i was happy. i made a few mistakes during my first week and was in a sea of trouble if you’ll excuse the metaphor. my boss showed some mercy since i had just started. i was mainly in charge of collecting shipping manifests and making sure all inventory matches what’s on the paper. it was an easy job, but the printing on those manifests was so small it might as well have been microscopic. sometimes i caught errors where someone had manipulated the figures. i would initial in the margin beside the errors and give the manifest back to my supervisor.
public transport is expensive so i bought a car to get to and from work. my driving isn’t very good and i consider myself a menace to all drivers. i don’t really know how to merge properly and in the winter when the snow melts, i’m all over the road. i’m pretty sure i don’t merit having a driver’s license. after 2 months i went back to using taxis.
i really enjoyed working at that first job and have decided that working for the government is a career for me. i have since changed departments because my supervisor’s rapid manner of speaking made him hard to understand and he would constantly blame me for his own mistakes. work was and is tough, but i go home at night, meditate to relax and think about how much pleasure i get out of earning my own money.
