Sad Days in Eugene

I quit my job at Essig Entertainment last week, which was a relief. Scott Essig, the owner, was crazy. He would curse up a storm whenever the littlest thing went wrong. I've never met a person so highstrung and intense. He would always impose on what you are doing if you are not doing it the way he has been doing it for decades, even if you find it a little easier. When I started working there I was working with Andrew and a dude named Joe who plays on the Oregon ultimate team. Everything was pretty good until then Andrew went off up north somewhere and Joe flat out quit. I was left with a couple cool people, a couple neutral people, and a couple annoying people. I can't believe anyone who would work there for more than 6 months without a substantial raise. Glad that's over.
Once again, I am left with few after the mass exodus that is college. Even Anna left this time. My days are pretty lame. I roll out of bed around 11:00 when my mom yells at me. I eat breakfast and brush my choppers and an hour later I lazily start doing some sort of work until it gets dark. Then I eat dinner with the 'rents, then we watch some crappy TV show, then I go to bed/call Anna, then I dink around on the internet till 1:00 or 2:00 when I realize it's super late, and fall asleep. I got bored just writing that.
I've been working with my dad to build a shed in the back yard, but that is going extremely slow because we don't really know what we are doing. We have a plan and everything for what boards go where, but neither of us have done this before, so we are mostly making it up as we go. Naturally my parents are trying to milk all of the work they can get out of me before I leave for college THIS WEEKEND!
I'm so incredibly ready to leave. I want to live in my new townhouse with my new roomies and play ultimate all the time and learn some shit. I feel bad for the people left in Eugene. I guess they will just have to come spend time at mi casa. The couch is always open, or the floor of my room, or my bed (authorized personnel only).

My response:
It really depends on how creepy you are being about it at the time. I might give you conditional authorization, but no promises.
