Real Life Sucks

A Conversation with my Past Self.

Me: Hey past self, what do you think you're going to be doing at the start of the summer.

• Past Self: Probably being tired and miserable all the time, working a shitty minimum wage job.

Me: Eh, close, what would you say if I told you you'll be tired and
miserable all the time, working a job that starts at 3PM and pays $13 an hour.

• Past Self: Bullshit.

Me: Haha, yeah, that's what I thought.

So during my job search at the beginning of the summer, I managed to land a job as a door to door salesman. It's literally the last thing I would have expected myself to be doing this summer, but alas, here I am, the bane of the suburban homeowner.



A basic work day is a repetition of the events depicted below (click to enlarge).

Yes, work starts at 3PM and yes, it pays $13 an hour. Sound rather cushy no? Well, for the most part it is, except for the fact that it's soul suckingly exhausting. I'm on my feet for five hours, non-stop under 90-100 degree weather dressed in a polo and a pair of khaki's that won't breathe with a new pair of lungs. In summation:

'Shit sucks balls.

I suppose that's God's way of bestowing retribution upon us: the irritators of the peace (understandably so). The result of said retribution is illustrated below.

I wake up every morning like this:

And then this happens AT work:

And this is how I end up afterwards:

This is the point at which I pump up my theme song, insert a caffeine IV into my brain and start slaving through my artwork. Speaking of which....I have started working on a super, top-secret art project.....nobody knows of it except me and the little cyborg-fetus in my head that feeds me ideas....
