The Courtneys: Reminders

I need a job, I need a life
Got a debt, and it's causin' strife
Got a number in my wallet
I've nothing else, so I guess I'll call it

I remember when my life was like this first verse from the Courtneys' "Insufficient Funds". Conditions: just left home for the first time; untouched mountain of student loans, Olympus Mons, followed me to the complete opposite side of the country; the only prospect a cousin's cousin's e-mail: art gallery manager; starving industry; nothing to lose but nearly just as much to gain. The most exhilarating period of my life.

Thanks for the reminder every time.
