Soul Tidbit

When I am devastated, my performance at job interviews and other hyper-formal affairs is superior. The main reason is that being devastated means I am not nervous. So I carry around the stiff rigidity of the grim-minded, instead of the jitter of the anxious hopeful. I have the muted gratitude of an obsessive who gets a reprieve from their thoughts for an hour or two which comes across as coolly interested.

Sure my smiles are robotic and somewhat gruesome, but nobody really notices those kinds of things as much as you’d think.
