I was sitting here thinking about the concept of a job, The very thought of me dressing up to go to some regular place always infuriated me

The thought of wasting my time answering stupid and rhetorical questions bother me, I 'd rather them text me or just call.

The whole process of the job hunting is something I will never get, here is the process through my eyes

Finding the position

So I have to wasted my valuable time looking for a position that not only pays well but don't eat up my time. When I see the pay on most of these job position, I can't imagine why people will settle for this kind of pay.

Filling out applications and sending resumes

Now I have to fill out BILLIONS of applications, these are usually basic information and questions which have NOTHING to do with the job.

Waiting for a call

After filling out a cluster of resumes, I have to wait for a call in for an interview. This usually (in my life) takes about 3-5 year (not joking) before anyone contacts me. Once they contact me, I usually don't remember filling out an application but I look it up and I have. This usually happens when I need the money and have ran out of opinion.

Waking up early

If anyone knows me knows I don't like to be woken up while I sleep, unless it is worth my time. Now I have to wake up early to meet up with someone i don't know. So I already hate this person for waking me up this early.

Wearing the "Appropriate" Attire

Now I have to play dress up for some people who I am probably smarter than, and I know i'm going to have to dumb things down for them. Usually when I wear this costume, the weather is at it's worst for me to be wearing something like this. Especially if NO ONE dresses like this on the normal basis

Finding the place

I usually leave my house 2 hours early, mainly because I know it's going to be hard to find this place. It's usually some small in the crevice place with 2 flights of stairs.

Waiting for the interview

10 times out of 10, the manager or interview is always late or taking too damn long to be ready. I don't like waiting on people, I find it rude and very annoying. so now i'm losing time waiting on this person, when I could've been home doing something else.

The Interview

Now I have to answer these stupid rhetorical questions, They have my resume and they are now asking questions that were answered on the resume.

With every syllable this person make, I am counting down how many ways this can go wrong for wasting my time.

Waiting for the call back

Almost always I never get a call back, very rarely do they call and give me a bullshit excuse.

Consequences for wasting my time (Somebody going to pay)

After wasting my time with an excuse, It is only fair that I get the money that i spent getting there. Especially when they chose an incompetent over me.
(I don't handle losing money well)
