I woke up. I drank some coffee while browsing the internet. I went jogging. I did some chores. I had some chocolate and jelly beans. I was planning to binge on McDonalds later but I'm not sure now. I'm currently drinking Starboocks.

I'm 28 and I feel so old. People my age have been building their careers for 7 years and I've barely started. People my age are investment banking Vice Presidents or senior civil servants. I have had interviews for prestigious graduate jobs for years- I am just shit at interviews. I am now at the stage where other candidates are literally zoomers. At least I have the small consolation of younger people having huge tuition fees. I haven't learnt the result for the interview I went to recently but every experience leaves me thinking that next time I must double my lying, extroversion, psychopathy etc.

I am reading a famous 21st century novel. It's good so far but reading fiction feels like the ultimate in consumercuckoldry, especially when it's not boring.

I will never have gone to a famous public school or Oxbridge. I will never do a degree I liked. I will never be extremely hard working. 99 % of all notable people went to Oxbridge or the Ivy League.

I have lots of free time but I just apply to jobs and waste time like a little cucky slave who can't do anything through his own initiative. For the past few weeks I felt like I was on the verge of working hard and giving up junk food but it was a passing phase.

I went to the V&A museum, which was kino, especially when the weather is bad. I went there once on a boiling sunny day and I remember feeling distinctly pathetic, as the Chads and Staceys frolicked outside in Hyde park or their South Kensington garden parties.

I used some software but then I felt bad for not being the guy who writes the software. I'm the cuck who uses it. 160 IQers writing Facebook, 80 IQers who use it. I'm surrounded by lampposts and coffee cups that I could never have invented on my own. I'm so pathetic.

I feel for you anon. Coming to terms with the fact that you'll never be anything more than a consumer is absolutely crushing. I still struggle with it. I thought I would be an artist but I had to admit I have no talent. I hope you find your escape. I'm thinking drugs desu

Did you stop to laugh at the ice skaters falling over by the natural history museum?

I saw the rink from inside the museum but wasn't paying attention.

Well worth crossing over the road to watch them fall over. Prob not worth the thirteen quid to fall over yourself, but the attendants are all female and required to help you back up if you get my drift.

I liked this post, Londonfrog. Very sad but fun and cosy.
