A Wolf Pack of One

Since the only applicant for my assistant-intern position was shamefully under-qualified, sorry Nana, I have decided the lack of applicants and interest is a sign that I should take on all of my endeavors as a Lone Wolf.

In many ways I am happy my job posting elicited so few responses. I now have the courage and confidence to face all forthcoming challenges alone, without the help of some lowly intern. I feel meeting these obstacles and conquering them without aid will develop my personal problem solving skill-set and instill the qualities necessary for me to be a "self made man."

I have been told "two heads are better than one," but the more I think about it and hypothetically apply this notion to my having an interning assistant, I disagree. Having another keep track of my schedule and many professional, educational, and social obligations would have likely resulted in an overall decline in focus. I take great pride on being aware of my appointments and my ability to find time to complete tasks and assignments by their required deadlines. An assistant keeping track of this for me would have led my mind to wander and provided unwanted down time.

"You guys may not know this, but I consider myself…a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack." Thanks Allan (Zach G. in the Hangover, in case you've been living in a cave) for this quote. Although it is taken completely out of context, since I have decided to run through the desert alone and not in a pack of four, I still derive a great deal of inspiration from these words. Excuse me while I hunt solitarily.
