Why put off until tomorrow what you can ask someone else to do today...
Once, when I was in High School, my best friend Zac asked me to quit his job for him. He was unbalanced and in general a terror to just about everyone in a public sense, so I figured it was for the best and agreed. At the time he was working at Texas Taco somewhere in New York. Why he commuted from Connecticut to a job like that in New York I may never know. The heart wants what it wants.
I stuffed $4 in quarters into the payphone behind the gas station Dunkin Donuts where I worked and called his boss to give her the bad news. It was a very awkward conversation, and she was very disappointed in me. "I just can't do it anymore; it's too far..."
