Rise N Shine

"Rise and Shine and...Welcome to school today..."

The song plagues my ears like nails on a chalkboard.  I have run out of coffee, water and patience this morning and there's absolutely no chance of improving my current situation.

Perhaps the only thing worse than working at a job that you... dislike, to say the least, is working at a place where joyous songs are sung All.  Day.

Unfortunately, my post collegiate days are thus far the laziest of my life.  Most days I spend laying around on my parent's annoyingly comfortable sofa, watching re-runs of Gossip Girl.  Every now and then I feel a tingle of inspiration to scribble a few lines here or, if I'm really feeling crazy, do my laundry.  But mostly, I just spend my days zoning out while I file paperwork and dreaming about what an awesome editor/writer/publisher/artist/celebrity I will one day become.

A real job.

I know.

It's absolutely what I should be doing.  And you would think that being currently employed (and only working part-time) at a job that makes gravedigging sound like a viable option, I would have the kick-in-the-arse I needed to go out and get me a career.

(Insert annoying buzz noise here)

You'd be wrong.
