There
is a wonderful freedom that comes with being a mad person. It's like
getting a permanent free hall pass in school. ( I had one by the way,
that's what they give you when you skip class to go to the library.
)
Ok
so career wise I can't even get a job as walmart greeter, I mean it;s
not official or anything but hey get real, you have a job application
from someone. You google, right? Everyone does, and there you really
want to hire someone who is front page crazy? And smokes?
It's
cool I understand, and lets get real I was a lousy employee. I told
my last boss to “shut the hell up.” she came down with laryngitis
the next day, couldn't talk for two weeks. Yeh that was pretty much
the end of that job.
So
being a crazy person is bad for the career, but it's not anything I
was ever going to be good at any way so meh.
The
good part is I can say or do any god damned thing I want to and
“What? I'm a crazy person, what really do you expect.? I haven’t
burned down anything in years, A standard of expectations I find easy
enough to exceed. Aim for the stars and all that jazz meh I rather
prefer having exceptions set so low I can perfectly ignore their
existence.
But
am I mad enough? Now that is an interesting dilemma. I look like a
perfectly normal sane person I talk like a perfectly normal sane
person. (one with the sort of vocabulary that makes people think I'm
really smart). So how on earth am I to justify all those papers?
Having to constantly explain to people that I'm a mad person is just
so socially awkward .
Of
course I could just not talk about it at all, but you do get into all
that where were you when and what did you do? Discussions that lead
to either to lengthy explanations which people don't believe anyway
and then they are annoyed with me for lying, or I lie which does have
the effect or making people happier with me but results in me
becoming unreasonably cranky.
So
I have to be mad in some way apparent but not scary mad, after all
I'm a pyro so I kinda feel it's incumbent on me to be reassuring. I
have been trying to develop into a charming eccentricity. Cute,
people think I'm cute, addled but cute. Took me just 50 years to
pull that off. By the time I'm 70 I may just be able to manage
adorable.
