My name is Rush and I'm JOBLESS. (See, I had to type 'JOBLESS' in Caps because I didn't want you to miss it. I want you to understand this, no matter what else you see, if I can't get you to see 'JOBLESS', then this text is all but a waste) So, yes, I'm JOBLESS. (Ok, sorry, I said that already)
Moving on; I asked myself a couple of questions; questions like: what can I do? What special skills do I possess? Can I sell? Can I design websites? Can I sing? It turned out that I have been very true to my name, 'Rush'. I have without doubt rushed through life these thirty one and half years without becoming particularly good at anything.
I'm thinking; maybe if I looked deeper within, I may find something I'm good at. How about gaming? Well, my friends always beat me even at that, so, not really. Ok, I thought I'd probably pass as 'good' at speaking, but not really. I realize my few friends don't even take me seriously when I speak. What have I done with my self these past years? It seems like I can't account for my life; as if some else lived it for me.
Out of boredom, I visited a church beside my house, the preacher was a lady. I heard her say say that Jesus died to save us. I wondered what he died to save us from? She also said Jesus could give me a job. I wish it's true, I just want a job.
I almost got a job last week; nothing serious though. I was suppose to work as a swimming pool attendant, the only problem was, on my interview day, it happened that some kid was drowning. I was told to jump in and save her. Yes, I did jump in, and yes, I did try to save her. It turned out we both started drowning because I was not that good enough a swimmer to help another drowning swimmer. So, a real attendant jumped into the water to save both me and the little girl. I was embarrassed, thankful and still desperate for a job, all at the same time. I've never had such conflicting emotions before in my life.
It's been 2 weeks, 3 days and 14 hours since the swimming pool episode and I still haven't got a job. I'm thinking about going back to the preacher lady, maybe she could explain how Jesus does his job placement thing.
My name is Rush, I'm still JOBLESS and I won't stop till a get a job.
TO BE CONTINUED...
