If I could sleep forever
Sep. 8th, 2011 03:22 pmFuck off, world.
I've done my duties, I've spent the whole week running, now let me die in peace.
I've been offered a job proposition, and I want it as much as I don't want it. It's a complete dilemma for me right now. On one side, I will obtain stability, a salary, regular work hours, health security coverage, and a better chance to get all my papers in order (French bureaucracy is a scary, scary thing you guys); on the other side, I know for sure it will be an idiotic, hateful job for a company that I despise, and I'm afraid it will drain me of my creativity and that I won't have enough time to do all the things I want to do.
So I'm half-praying that I get it, half-praying that I don't. This year is a weird one, and I've been confronted with decisions like that all along.
One of the good things this week though: Nephyla has drawn a portrait of me for a magazine in which I write a column:

The only inaccurate thing about it is that I don't smoke XD
Okay, now, I'm gonna bury myself under the covers of my lovely warm bed, try to forget about the shitty job interview I had today (I was unprepared and lying through my teeth, and I think it showed. Oh god, "yes I want to make a career out of it", what bullshit), read fic, and SLEEP. Fina-fucking-lly.

I like that portrait, though. The hair!

Date: 2011-09-12 03:59 pm (UTC)You know, the funny thing is, I'm actually good at interviews; shit, I usually nail them. I even didn't think about preparing this one (I know, I'm an idiot) so I showed up with my hands in my pockets like a big tourist, and it just went... meh. I guess I was just frustrated that I wasn't on top of my game. But in the end, it doesn't matter, since I think I'm gonna turn down that job offer anyway. The fact that I wasn't my best at the interview was just a symptom of how much I DON'T want this job, in hindsight.

Oui, j'ai attaqué il y a maintenant deux semaines (enfin, la 1ère semaine, c'était ma pré-rentrée donc je n'ai vraiment commencé que cette semaine), je suis en fac d'Arts Plastiques à Aix-en-Provence et ça se passe bien, même si j'ai la désagréable impression d'être une pure kiche en classe d'Etudes Graphiques (perspective, nu, etc) et que toutes mes peurs liées au fait que je ne sois pas à la hauteur etc etc reviennent ... mais bon, je suis là pour apprendre ! \0/
