I've been unemployed for about a year now and never bothered to get a new job, because I genuinely believe it's not worth it with the current state of affairs. For some reason, I guess out of pure boredom, I did apply to some places lately. It was pretty low effort on my part, but apparently good enough to get invited to some interviews. At that stage I just wouldn't go and ignore their calls. However, I did go to one interview; the weather was nice, I felt like going out and it was near the library I wanted to visit anyway, so I thought whatever, let's do it. And overall, I'd say I did pretty damn good. A few days later I got a mail from the employer, saying that she left the interview with a very positive impression, but told me to be patient, since she still has two weeks of interviews to go. Before the interviewing phase was over, she already calls to tell me I got the job. I can't tell anyone yet, since it's not official and all, but it will be in short notice.
But here's the thing, I don't even want the fucking job. I assume I'll be gone in about six months, a year tops. So I don't really have that much longer, relatively speaking. Why should I spend ten hours daily, five times a week of the little time I have left slaving away on some fucking job, paying taxes to a government I hate? I would be able to get my own apartment and have a bit more money to spend. Great. That's not worth my time at this point though, or ever to be honest. Maybe in movies this would be a scene where the dude turns his life around, new job, new apartment, new people around him and all that, but let's be real here, I don't live in a fucking movie. So my current plan is to just ignore my would-be employer and get on with my life as usual.
Am I making sense or would you give it a try at least? Maybe anyone here was in a similar situation once, how did it turn out?
