Two Hundred Words


In my bid to determine what two hundred words look like, I am writing this. Despite having repeatedly set my theme to Times New Roman and font point size 12, this stupid computer keeps reverting to Calibri font point size 11. It is so ugly and annoying and it aggravates me dreadfully.

A two hundred essay must have at least three paragraphs, no? So I am doing a second paragraph. Here, I will fuss about the upcoming deadline for applying for a job I am working myself up to want. It is a remote job, with a promise of a good salary. I am unlikely to get it because there are so many people much better, more qualified who will also be applying. But, I am working to learn to take rejections in my stride. So I must do this. It is for my good.

I still have fifty five words to go. Wow. I guess I should talk a bit more about rejection. About sexual rejection? How it feels to have a deep physical urge that is not reciprocated? Unfortunately, we do not have the words for it. I only have ten more words to go. And now, I am there.
