I'm not worried about...

Today I'm feeling more than a little bit overwhelmed. There are the usual things, of course, but I'm now acutely concerned about my lack of job for the next year.

Ugh.

At times like this, I find it helpful to make a list of things I'm not worried about.

I am not worried about...

1. my lack of tan.
2. Michelle Obama's proud display of her post-Title IX arms.
3. global warming.
4. losing myself in my current relationship. (i <3 being single!)
5. pirates... who don't do anything.

6. my present haircut or color.
7. my ability to bake a damn fine cupcake.
8. the completion of my master's degree.
9. the price of a soy latte at Starbucks. the taste of my ever-improving homemade soy lattes.
10. a devastatingly large mortgage.

See? Joblessness is not so bad after all! I could be dealing with a debilitating cupcake handicap or a pirate who actually does something!

Okay. I'm now getting back to the job hunt/application world. Here's something for you to do: Let me know what you aren't worried about so I'll have something to smile about when I take my next break.

Oh, and if you say that you aren't worried about finding a job then I will send you the worst interweb stinkeye you've ever seen or heard of.

  1. What about....I'm not worried about YOU finding a job. It'll happen. You always have that in with the gastro-industry.

    I am not worried about taking exams. I have decided it isn't worth the energy.

    I am worried about global warming, but we're different.

    I am NOT worried about enjoying my summer. But I'd be more certain if I had a DISNEY WORLD TRIP planned. :)

  2. I am worried about the Red Sox and the Symposium. I am not worried about graduating or the love of my cats.

  3. I'm not worried about college, or my finals coming up.

    Eep... Maybe I am. But I'm not worried about my family's status even in the recession, which is something to be thankful for. Like kmari said, I'm also not worried about you, and I wish you the best of luck :)

  5. You guys would laugh if you saw how excited I got when each of your comments popped up on my screen! They were like perfectly timed cover letter-writing breaks. :)

    kmari03: Now I'm worried about ending up at the gastroenterologists!! :) Just kidding... they aren't so bad. (except that they are.)

    Evan: Don't worry about Symposium. I know it's going to go smashingly well.

    Elissa: Only be excited about college! It will be so much fun and I wish I could be your English 101 teacher. Oh... I'm getting nostalgic over your upcoming college experience. How does that work? :)

  6. i'm not worried about the fact that i just spent approximately 4 hours outside in the sun watching sports, made myself overly available to the general viewing public and came away with a sunburn.

    how's that?

  7. I'm not worried that I could be pregnant or that my cat might die (since I don't have one). I'm not worried that I can't think of many things I'm not worried about because it really means I'm not worried about them. So not worried they don't even come to mind.

Why don't you tell the rest of the class what's so funny?
