I will look for a job when they find the missing link
Mother: “Are you looking for work?”
Missing Link Me: “No. Why should I?”
Mother: “Nothing wrong with looking for work.”
Missing Link Me: “I don’t want to look for work. I am on vacation. What? You can’t stand me in this house anymore?”
Mother: “Is it wrong to ask?”
Missing Link Me: “Yes! Very wrong. Stop asking me. I am on vacation!”
Mother: “I should not ask again.”
Missing Link Me: “Maybe you shouldn’t!”
Mother: “Whatever.”
Then she got up and left.
I seriously want to move out and live in La La land. I want to live in the wilderness. I want to cultivate my own food, and cut down trees and build my own tree house and live amongst the monkeys. Remember evolution crap? They say we are related somehow to the primates. They are still looking for that missing link. Ooh… Maybe it’s me! They should look for me! I eat an average of 3-5 bananas a day!














You will look for work when you are good and ready. A person bugging you to look for work will only make you more stubborn and dig in you heels and not look for work. There is nothing wrong with taking some time off to find yourself as long as it is productive time and it is not spent aimlessly sitting watching television or surfing the web all day. You should get out volunteer at different organizations and try new activities to see if you like doing it. You never know what you might stumble across that you really like and could turn it into a career down the line. Now is the time when you are young and can afford to do it. Not many people have the luxury of finding themselves. They have to worry about pesky little things like rent and food.
I think you were a tad overreacting. I don’t see anything wrong with your mum asking about your job search aspirations. Mind you, this time of the year probably isn’t the best of times to look for employment. May be next month? I’m sure you want to revitalise your neurons
@Kiwi_Canada – obviously next month.. now.. it is like everything is dying.. it will revive in the new year.. and I am always over reacting.. hello! hahhaa
So you are done with your other job? I thought you were just taking some time off then going back.But good for you do what you feel is right for you.
@lela – i quit my job in august. Read my about me page. I am unemployed.
There is nothing wrong in taking a long vacation, I wish I had the courage to do something that I really want without thinking of the consequences :S
On the other hand I believe you have some kind of long term plan in your life isn’t it ??? or is it just wait and see what life will bring me??
