The day had once again started without him.

Having moved back home, he had been having problems keeping a schedule. Dad’s watching the news. Feeling embarrassed, go to the bathroom.

Today was like every other and they seemed to blur past. A string of rejections followed by the complete lack of motivation to even start. Blaming others for why he does not do anything. Brian had been searching for work for months and no matter how much he swallows his pride, he still cannot secure the most basic of jobs. Not his fault, the recent lockdown has really hurt the availability of work. Doesn’t help he isn’t native. The real question is why is he so run down. A million reasons why but never why can’t it stop.

Fuck, it’s already 8am and you aren’t even ready. Missed the dog feeding. Fuck. Well, let’s get ready. Post is delivered by 9:30, waiting on that gift. Got to get there first.

Still smoking. Why? Why can’t you stop? Stress is killing me, the cigarettes probably faster. Shit, it isn’t here. Another day to wait, it’s already days late. Go home, everyone is gone. Jump on the computer. Four tabs, one is reddit, one is email waiting on responses, job board, and a map. Reddit is blank, just the latest round of anger over the horrible shit that is our planet. Race, religion, place of geographic origin, etc. You could never keep everyone happy. No matter how peaceful they claimed to be, they were more than prepared to, or seemed to at least from the verbal barrage just levied, destroy anyone or anything that disagrees with them. So you read.

Shit it’s noon. Just realized that I wasted an hour reading how no one is willing to compromise, with other things to do. He switched back to his email tab to see a new message.

From the job board, you have not been referred to the hiring manager. Having seen so many of these, almost numb to the sensation of rejection. Time to look for more. It isn’t personal, it’s a numbers game. Eventually an opening would come along and you would be a good fit. Yeah, that’s how it works. Fast forward through the blur of checking boxes and re parsing my resume. 5 jobs. Not bad for two hours. Only had to write a cover letter three times. The standard one is getting old. Not even three months and getting old.

Dad’s home. Shit. Nothing done. Clothes are dry, let’s fold them. No, he would see and get pissed it isn’t already done. Could have cleaned a bit. No. He would get pissed. Really can’t deal with this today. Fast forward.

Three hours of just not talking. It really sucks. I don’t want this. Time is short, not coming back. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. News is on. Let’s cook something. He is watching the news. Doesn’t matter. You should have left years ago. You should have never come back. That is where I invested. That is where I want to be. It didn’t matter he wasn’t native. It was his home. Well, his father’s home. Fuck this lockdown.

7:30pm time to relax. You maintain that schedule, fucking lazy ass. Get on the computer and play games till ten. Do you play because you are lazy? No. Maybe. Fuck I don’t know. Maybe to just not have to sit in silence with him. To be so involved in something, he leaves you alone. Just force the silence some more.

Time for bed.
