Transcript

this job market feels impossible. My motivation is at an all-time motherfucking low. Like I keep applying to these damn jobs and I hear nothing fucking back. And so many people have moved on to the point where they're like, you need to reach out to these recruiters, and you like, they give you like a fucking bullet point list of what to do like you're going to fucking war. And I'm like, I don't want to do that shit. I do not want to. I don't want to do this shit anymore. I don't want to fucking do this shit anymore. I'm losing my fucking mind. But I need a job to pay my fucking mortgage. I have a mortgage to fucking pay. And I have things I need to pay. And I need a better paying job. And like, where the fuck is it at? I'm fucking tired, bitch.
