I feel like I have this dirty secret and you're gonna find out one day so i'm just gonna say it so you can all rightly cancel me for the sell out I am. No need to retweet this, there's enough of you here to give me the abuse I deserve...
I was supposed to go to Australia for 24months. I went for 10. Between the drought in the west& the fires in the east, we didn't have any luck securing our final 2mnts of regional work. I did traffic control out of desperation & depleating funds. It was 40•c &I fucking hated it
I applied to temp agencies to get work as an EA which i've always been. My expiring visa didn't make it easy & I got no calls for months until 1 day. I told myself I was taking the job no matter what. Well I could have ate my own face when i found out it was with the cat chrch.
I couldn't believe my fucking luck but I told myself 'be grand sure'. My family broke their arses laughing at me like it was some sort of cruel irony at me skipping mass back in the day and mouthing off about the chrch. Now I was gonna sell out on those principals.
I lied in the interview. I was the best Cat Irelands ever saw, went to mass, knew the prayers, the whole lot. I got the fucking job. I was so deep in my lies. I got invited to morning, afternoon and evening prayers and masses, even the retreats. I made excuses i was busy until
One day, while taking mins in a meeting with the Bish, the angelous bell rang & everyone stood up to go pray. I was sweating. I didn't know the fucking angelous. I didnt know you geneflect during it and in a panic i ended up squatting.I dunno what happened but both knees dropped
Like it was hot. Low low low. Infront of the bish, my colleagues and my boss. Anyway, I paid in all the strange days in there. Don't get me wrong, its a mixed bag of nuts, some people, like my boss, were normal, good people but, emphasis, on the nuts. Everyday was like
I was on the Truman show or someone was gonna scream that i'd been punked but no, it was painfully real. not saying they were all bad, they did some good in the community but then they didn't think gay marriage or abortion rights were okay so yano,2 wrongs dont make a right
I hada say it, I think of it everytime I criticise religion and I think to myself: shut up you ya hypocrite.
And by God I won't ever be let forget this either.
It's a cracker at family gatherings apparently. A real Fr. Ted episode.
Anyway, commence your cancelling.
