    4:00 wallow in self pity;
    4:30, stare into the abyss;
    5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one.
    5:30, jazzercize.
    6:30, dinner with me. I can’t cancel that again!
    7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing; I’m booked!
    Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9 I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness.

    WTF is up with this? Get a job! Duh? Any sane person knows this. The Fed boss cannot come up with something better like: “Always wear sunscreen and watch out for those knees. You are going to miss them some day”? At least this has more practical advice.
