This yob. I&#8217;d always wanted this job, and for the opening months I might have been as happy with this life as I&#8217;d ever been. That&#8217;s not to imply that I laoth it now, or that any outlook has really changed. I like being here. but I fundamentally see through some of the mission and the perceived value of what happens here. I guess other cities do it differently? I don&#8217;t know. I can&#8217;t get into details. It gives away too much. This is not a top secret job, I just don&#8217;t like letting people know where I work. That sort of geographical knowledge has caused troubles for me in the past. On top of that I guess I don&#8217;t really know why but I&#8217;d always been averse to advertising my source of income. It seems weak, in some puny, abstract way. Who needs to know what I <em>do<\/em>? Pronouncements of what I do are, I believe, followed by mentla thoughts balloons filled with a tangle of dollar signs and question marks. <em>How much does a ____ make?<\/em> Money and salary are like penis size. It&#8217;s probably none of your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for the latter I guess I&#8217;ll find out tonight whose business it is. Hah, what a segue. Did not even see that coming. No more chatter on that, though. As always I prepare to fail but welcome whatever awaits. She&#8217;s from a different planet from me, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also poking around on the hookup apps again. So many fakes and bots. The women who say they&#8217;re ready for anything are usually morbidly obese and\/or hundreds of miles away. I like chunky but 300 pounds and located in Texas is not going to work for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I never send dick pix, solicited or unsolicited. They spychology behind sending unsolicited pictures like that, though, might seem convoluted but it makes sense to me. It&#8217;s one dude&#8217;s way of saying &#8220;I think you&#8217;re hot.&#8221; I don&#8217;t send that stuff until I have maximum assurances that this is a trusting environment, a trustable woman. It&#8217;s a big part of\u00a0 what got me through quarantine.<\/p>\n<p>I saw something yesterday that said &#8220;quarantine&#8221; was the most commonly misspelled word in New York. One person allegedly spelled it &#8220;corn teen.&#8221;\u00a0 It is a mouthful of syllables, and a handsful of letters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I am an epiphenomenalist. I don&#8217;t believe it. I <em>know<\/em> that nothing I say or do contributes to the meaning of things.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I seem to have made it through another week at this job.
