I can't do job applications
I need a new job. If I remain in my current job beyond the summer I will go mad.
Job applications freak me out. I don't know how to sell myself to people I've never met. I feel awkward using flowery words and pretending to be ten times more productive and efficient than I really am. I am so teachered out at the end of the day that I have no words or knowledge left to impart to anybody, and application forms feel like a mental trek.
What I'd really like to do is just brain vomit all over them. If I wrote what was in my heart on these forms it'd probably go like this:
Take me! I'm great! I love teaching and can make a really good cup of tea. Look at all this stuff I've done! (insert list of awesome feats here) See how awesome this makes me? Please give me a job. I want to buy a house. And a dog.
I could do more. I want to do more. But I don't know how to say it. Blerg.
