I think you’re fooling yourself, dude. You do need that job; why would you be subjecting yourself to such petty tyranny otherwise? I know you have this great justification but really the problem is that you can’t afford your own place in New York and still have time to build your business, right? You’d have to get a full-time day job in order to afford your own actual place and you wouldn’t have time to build your business. Moreover, I think you really resent having to do the job of a “teenager,” which is kind of funny because that’s about the maturity level you’re exhibiting in this piece. There’s a difference between not needing other people and feeling contempt for other people, and you exhibit the latter much more than the farmer.
