"tell the boss i quit today, i'm through with working..."

so i am finally going to quit my job. ah, the two weeks notice. it's actually a lot more stressful than it sounds. last week i was joking about how it would be so much more fun and painless to intentionally get fired. think of all the creative possibilites...

richard confessed that his get-fired-fantasy was to throw a slice of roast beef at an obnoxious customer and watch it slide down his/her face. i decided that the best way to go out would be to somehow turn off all the power and simulanteously create an acoustic punk show in aisle four. it would rock so hard. it would go down in history. but yes, i would probably get arrested in addition to getting fired. sounds fun though, right?

the plan is to go back to the east coast for a while and work on finding grants so i can write a book about the dilemma of our time: pursuing our passions while surviving in a capitalist society. can i interview you?

ps: i work at a natural foods co-op not a mysterious mixtape factory. :)

your passion is to talk and think about how to pursue your passions while surviving in a capitalist society, and maybe do a little travelling on the side. your solution is to get funding to write a book about pursuing your passions while surviving in a capitalist society. so then you get to pursue your passion.

its perfect, right? a friend and i had almost the exact same scheme a few years ago. execpt we didnt do it completely. because we got distracted by other passions. because passions are compelling. and pursuing them is a full time job!
