Someone else for a day

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

Daily Prompt

I would like to be a person who wouldn’t have many hangups. Someone different from me. Right now, I need an exoskeleton (now, Sunset) to make me move forward in life. I would be someone who is confident about their skills. People with their own businesses seem confident in what they do. Being in their shoes for at least one day would be nice. They have problems too, but at least they are not forced to apply for jobs.

I have a hard time making decisions. I wish I could make one and stick to it. But there is always something in the way, so I don’t get things done. I want to be that person who isn’t uncertain and is not worried about taking risks. The sunset hasn’t set yet. I can still be the person I wish to be for a day. It only takes longer for me to do it.

Bugbear of today

Bugbear is both a cute and funny word. It’s a bear that is bugging something. In this case, it’s an elephant that my dad won at a funfair. There are two things that bug me, and those are as follows.

Job search

I had to go to an event where different companies were introducing themselves. I think these events are unnecessary because they don’t have the line of work you’re looking for. Some unemployed don’t need to go, which is a bit unfair. But I went, and I didn’t get into trouble.

And another bugbear is.

Strikes

I’m going to Tampere to see Robbie Williams in concert on Sunday. Then next week to Helsinki. But now there are strike threats for buses and trains. It’s selfish to have strikes because many people will suffer from them. Everybody doesn’t have a car. Even if they do, the parking isn’t cheap. The bus strike can start tomorrow and end on Friday next week. I have both train and bus tickets. If the strikes will come, the only solution is to drive there. I have never driven alone and long distances. I hope those strikes won’t come. It’s so much easier to travel by public transport. Especially when you need to travel early in the morning. I hope at least one of the transports won’t go on strike. If both go, there will be trouble. Let’s hope and pray it will be solved soon.

Bore and risque at the same post

What bores you?

Daily Prompt

Things that bore me the most is politics. I was never interested in it as a teenager, and I still don’t care. It spoils a lot of things. It even happens in sports. Other things that bore me are the same athlete and country winning, so others don’t get a chance. It happens a lot in men’s cross-country skiing and Formula One. It takes out all the fun watching the sport.

I’m not a risque person. I’m more of a bore. But at least I know how to be bored. Certain people can’t manage that. They always need something to do. That can be stressful if you can’t be bored sometimes. There must be someone who can be bored because we can’t all be exciting people. At least I go somewhere from time to time. Some people only stay at home and don’t do anything special in their life. I could never live like that. I can be bored, but I need to do something that fills my life. It might not be anything risque, but it keeps me alive.
