i was never this young
Young protege Darcy has recently begun the long, slow slog of real life. Grad school is a few months behind her, now. Unable to land the glamorous six-figure job in London advertising she'd promised herself, she's slunk back to Seattle and taken more menial jobs a couple miles from her high school. She'd been at one of the jobs a month when she emailed me from her cubicle. Importantly, at that moment I hadn't had a weekend in two months.
"I’ve worked 8 hours a day for the last 3 weeks," she wrote. "How do you manage it? I feel like I’m going to die."
Here, let me help you with the dying, sweetheart.
