've come to a realisation recently.

Every job I've ever had, someone has vouched for me before applying. I've always had some level of assistance in getting the job.

This latest job followed that. And honestly, there's no real problem with that occuring. If that's how it worked out, it is how it is.

However, under that pretence, it makes sense why the job I applied for in the fall didn't work out. I had no vouch and had to make it on my own. And unfortunately, I didn't make the cut.

That job has appeared again and again in the classifieds online. My mom keeps bugging me about applying again for it. And my dad has now taken to reminding me that my new job is not going to pay any bills. Which is real grand since I haven't even started the damn thing yet, let alone being now pressured by both with thinking about other work and making something of myself.

Because clearly I haven't been trying. No. No. I moved here because I didn't try. I got through uni because I didn't try. I help my mother DAILY because I don't try.

I had to write this post because I'm all fuelled up on frustration. I normally run on quite a bit of frustration. I'm stuck in New City trying to work towards getting a solid paying job. And my own place. And my own vehicle. And someday hope to live with my gf. Which speaking of the LDR takes it toll. But not as much a toll as the plethora of appointments and chores. It's hard to feel like an adult when you're viewed as a manchild.

Tl;dr I'm proud of me getting my new job, even if my parents apparently are not.
