A chapter in the book The Book of Retirement
Confenssion
by Iza Deleanu
"Hi life, it's me again! Do you remember my retiring plan that was going to happen around 50? You do? That's great! But you can scratch that! I am suffering from the butterfly effect, or better said defect!"
Life looks at me puzzled and exclaims: "What the heck is that?"
I took a seat in my sunny paradise... of course my rented balcony, and pensive I am starting my confession: "Our father ... please forgive me... I've sinned again. Actually is not my fault! You gave me wings, so I flew again to catch the shinny promise of a better life, better bla-bla and blah! I am moving, yup, jumping to the next opportunity and lose my pension one more freaking time! Last time I moved was in 2019. I know, don't judge me. I am always searching for the best next thing. Who knows, my ex-ie was right. I am not marriage material, because I don't offer stability. Wait a minute, dear Sir, wasn't the job of the man to offer that? Little pussy cats, they want the women to take over that role as well. But how I am supposed to be glued into a nine to five job that it's not exciting anymore?
Just think about it, if Prometheus have not stolen the fire, where we will be today?
I know I am that crazy Phoenix that catches fire and gets a chance to be reborn into a different... job, for which I thank you my Lord. "
Life screams: "Hold on! You did what? You quit your job again? You promised me in 2019, that if you get that job you'll stop that pendulum migration."
Sheepishly I braced myself for another rage attack: "But, Ms. Life, what can I do, you know that I have to pay for my rent, my kid food, and I am working already two jobs. Do you want me to die of over exhaustion? And is not so bad... I can transfer my four years to the new job..."
Life :"Well, have it your way. But don't expect that posh luxurious life earlier that on your one hundred birthday!"
