Consistency Is Damnably Hard

Or do I lack discipline?
Focus?
SLEEP, maybe?
Has my once-nimble mind become just an addled, gelatinous squatter in my skull? Let’s circle back to that later.

You would think that putting up a single post once a week would be the easiest item on my to-do list. I don’t even want to look at the date of my previous post. Can we start fresh? Let me report on the positive. My application for a job at the chocolate factory was rejected.

(By the way, I applied for a job at a chocolate factory.)

I’m throwing my net out wide and it seemed like it would be a fun experience. Alas, I’m not destined for the life of a chocolatier. There will be no convoluted plans of luring children to their saccharine demise within the brick walls of my labyrinthian factory. I already had an outfit in mind. Such a pity.

Where was I going with this?

Ah, yes. The positive. The positive is that the rejection disappointed me, but didn’t deter me. I went right on searching and applying. Unfortunately, that was the only solid rejection I received. It was a nicely worded email, too. But I can’t expect all companies to be so considerate. Mostly, it’s just been crickets. Pitying, disdainful crickets.

Is this post a sufficient length? Probably not. We’ll see how the next one goes.
