THIS IS WHAT BEING AUTISTIC FEELS LIKE IN EVERY INTERVIEW.
i had an interview last week.
he asks “what’s your favorite drink?”
i say “water” because that’s the truth.
he rolls his eyes. “c’mon, be creative.”
i go silent. because i don’t know how to fake enthusiasm for fake questions.
15 seconds.
then: “you’re not what we’re looking for.”
Yeah. I'm not. I'm what I'm.
I think I dodged a bullet.
i dodged a job where i’d have to pretend 40 hrs/wk.
