Note

Dear Parents,
If you have noticed (okay, maybe you haven't because both of you were not home the entire week), I have been less than enthusiastic about my current unemployment situation. Maybe it's causing you some worry but I think I'm handling myself very well now. I'm working on a few side projects, which could potentially grow into some more. (Plus, I am getting paid for my work.) I don't know about you but I think that it is more important for me to pursue what I enjoy right now than putting myself at a desk-bound job doing something I hate. Most of the jobs out there do not appeal to me because I am unable to satisfy my immense obsession with Excel (the numbers program, in case you forgot, which I tried to teach you). Those jobs that could possibly meet that need are currently being contended for by countless of experienced hires. Hence, it would put me in a very bad mood if I was to get a job for the sake of having a job. (I already have one, okay, more than one.)

To put your fears at ease, I'm suggesting that I give myself six months (to the end of this year) to make something out of whatever-the-hell I'm working on right now. At least I haven't felt so free and liberated in...the past 25 years that I've been alive!

Your (not so) loving Son.
