Started the summer job anxiety by searching for jobs at MOL. I mean, what the fuck.. it seems that every job requires a higher education or Polytechnic degree on that particular field. It appears I should be an electrician, a trained pedagogic, an economist in all of its branches, and an outgoing extrovert with a fabulous body, readiness to do pretty much anything or go anywhere anytime the emoployer wants me to, a fucking linguistic genius, not to mention that I should get along with everyone no matter how badly shit-for-brains they are, and I should also have a driver's license for the most common vehicles and a trucking card. In addition I should have about a thousand papers from hygeine to alcohol to criminal record.
FUUUUUUUUCCKK!!! What the fuck I'm supposed to do, huh?! Pretend in job interviews and when the trial's over (if I've managed that far) I'll blow my cover and reveal myself to be a fucking anti-social bitch without any kind of motivation? Yeah, except that I don't want to pretend. Why it's always me who has to change to fit what other people want me to be? Why won't others tolerate different people? It can't be that I'm the only one who can't manage with this precariat system, portfolio career? Right? So why do the others not acknowledge the existence of us less social people. Why should we be superhumans to compensate that one little thing? Why don't we get to be average like social people?

Good question. I suppose I needed to get some steam out and since I have no one I can do that to in person I do it here. That happens sometimes. If I had to pin-point some core out of this it might be that I find it unfair that the entire job market is built for those who are outgoing, flexible, willing to let work determine their entire lives, those who like the portfolio career (= not having a job for more than a couple of years tops before doing something else). Those that are superhuman or trying to be one. Those like Alexander Stubb, our Ironman Minister for Foreign Affairs. There's no place in the system for those that are none of those things, me included. That could be the point.
