Yesterday's column sucked! As more than a few commenters have pointed out, it was basically dumb and useless! But let me explain!?
Not that I'm making excuses. I'm human and make mistakes. Basically it sucked because I didn't finish it. I meant to go back and work on it. I just forgot! It was Friday afternoon, and I moved on to some other tasks, and then worked all weekend on some other things, and then next thing you know I'm waking up Monday morning and my column sucks! Harsh but true! So thanks to the reader who pointed it out. And especially, thanks to all the many commenters who have picked up the ball.
I'm a little bit of an airhead lately. I'm coming up on 10 years since my first column Oct. Maybe that's part of it. But, I know, no excuses. So, again: Apologies for a column that pretty much sucked! Now let's see if I can do a little better today.
I mean, that should be easy. I really loved your response to the woman who was wondering if she wasn't cut out for her job. You pretty much told her that she's OK, it's the system that's messed up. Well, I've had the inkling that this is how most people feel about their jobs since I was about 13, and have never had much ambition in that regard. I'm 24, and basically, all I want to do, the only goal in my life, is to fall in love.
To find "the one. I have no career goals, all jobs I can think of seem like soul sucking ways of working for this artificial goal of money. Since college the only jobs I've had are nannying jobs, which I like all right because it pays pretty well, and all I do is hang out with kids or babies who are really cute!
