Being unemployed with a small cushion of school loans is like knowing that you will eventually have to jump off a cliff, and you are just trying to make a strong enough parachute that will carry you safely to the ground. Some days, you think you'll never find the right materials for the damned thing: you keep seeing nothing but netting, wool, and monkey fur. Some days, you see nylon but it's too thin, with tears and holes in it. Some days you see material that is way too good for your parachute, and you know you'd never be able to afford it.
Today was a monkey fur day. It's soft and quirky, sure, but not good parachute-making material.
