Disclaimer: This is Frank Herlinger's personal blog. Like most personal blogs, it's mostly full of self-indulgent drivel. Why anyone would read the blog of someone they don't know personally, and even then someone they don't love deeply and without condition - in short, one's child or life partner - I can't really understand. I should recommend that you read something truly good and useful. But, because I believe in kindness, thank you for reading this, whatever your misguided reasons.

Take this job and: A love correspondence between Frank and Molly

So, I quit my job last week. I went down to 50% time this week, and I am set to phase out by the end of March, although I am tempted to just turn that into 2 weeks notice and move on. I consider your strange desire for employment to be an inspiration.

Ah, now I see the gap.

I'm not interested in employment AT ALL. I am only interested in MONEY. For without money, I cannot drink to excess, put things other than fingers up my nose or sleep in this lovely little box of a flat in which I've been waking for the past couple years.

I'm considering alternate routes: crack dealership (local demand is rather worthy), hanging a shingle in the red light district (would have to lose five pounds first.....next!) or getting in on the ground floor of the ultimate criminal activity of all time: banking.

I am, in any event, so happy to see that, after all these years, neither of us has changed much. I'd rather cut off my own leg, eat it, shit it, roll it in gravel and eat it again than work. And I'm sure you'd grab a spoon and join me.

I love you so much, Frank.

I love you more than my mother loves Bingo.
