Wednesday, July 28, 2004 In here, it's always Friday
When I was visiting my parents this weekend, they talked about retirement a lot. My mother just signed up for social security, and she's was saying what a weird racket it was: if you can afford to keep below the maximum you're allowed to earn, then you kind of don't need it, it seems like. Or rather, you're screwed if you can't keep below that maximum.
I said things like, "Yeah, retirement is totally overrated," and winked and grinned, because I enjoy worrying my parents and causing them pain. I insinuate that I'm never going to have a real job again, practically all the time. You should see the looks on their faces! It is like I'm hosting my own episode of Punk'd.
My cultural references are so last year. I need a job so I can have cable again, and also so that I don't chew through the household electrical cords.
It's true. I feel myself on the verge of a case of full-blown employment fever. It's not that I don't enjoy spending my savings or rarely leaving the apartment. I just really miss faxing documents. Like magic!
