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!"
