Peggy was in law school and we shared some mutual friends. A year ago or so she and I were on the same track in life – I had a fancy sounding job as a political staffer. I wasn’t “in the room” but I was just on the other side of the door and knew a good amount of the political dirty deeds going on. Work 18 hour days, on call 24/7 and accepted early into law school.
She also worked in politics and was now in law-school. Unlike her, the power of being politics didn’t seduce me, it turned me off. I said fuckit and quit, turned down the law school offer and decided to strike it out on my own in small business. It still is the best decision I’ve ever made. The obsession over titles, being seen with the right people, pretending to be grateful for the sack of shit dumped on my desk at 6:00pm on a Friday night… it just wasn’t for me.
