Han Tsu was in the bathroom brushing his teeth when the sudden realization came to him.

I'm working at a cookie factory, when I have a graphic design major, what the fuck am I doing?

He shook it off, it was just another one of the many doubtful thoughts that plagued him throughout the day. Today was just another day at work, another day to pay the rent so that he could enjoy the 2 days he felt he deserved to be able to enjoy.

But he didn't enjoy them. Not when 71% of his days were spent being miserable.

And they never seem to last long enough, he thought, although since no enjoyment was being derived for them he wondered why he'd ever think that.

He caught the C-Train to downtown Akron, and caught his bag in the revolving doors, as he did from time to time. He contemplated how symbolic little things could be of his own life, but then remembered how much he hated those doors, and wished he could replace them with a God damn doorknob. How complicated can it be to use a God damn doorknob?

He took the elevator to the 14th floor, as he did everyday, and stopped for a bag of Cheez-Its at the vending machine, as he did everyday. He'd just eaten a bagel, but knew that between 10:35-10:45 AM he'd need a snack to tide him over until lunch.

Herbert, the office custodian, greeted him, as he did whenever they passed. Han liked Herbert, but was afraid of becoming too close with a janitor. Why shouldn't we be able to hang out?

But he knew it just wouldn't happen.

It was then that Han sat at his desk, with a list of assignments only about as thick as a paperclip. He fiddled through them, like he often did, and decided the order in which he would do them.

• Birthday Greetings for "Over the Hill" birthday cake customers

• Fortune Cookie Sayings

• Golf related ideas for a "Hole in One" bundt-style cake

Fortune Cookie sayings were always there. They never ran out of demand for fortune cookie sayings.

And today, he was feeling good. Before he'd slept the night before he'd come up with some great fortune cookie ideas:

• An inevitable destiny will await you. Lucky Numbers: 44, 14, 25, 47, 31 (He had wanted to use in the near future at the end of that one, but understood the rules for writing fortune cookies specifically state that you must not use the idea of "future". It was an effort at simplicity.)

• The words "try harder" will present an opportunity to you. Make sure you take it. Lucky Numbers: 12, 16, 41, 50, 32

• You cannot escape fate. You must only do the best with what you have. Lucky Numbers: 11, 8, 42, 4, 37

Han typed these out very quickly, he was a very quick typist. As his mouse hovered over the "Send E-Mail" button, an idea came over him.

Quickly he deleted everything he'd just typed, and after the words "I quit." (and moreover a long e-mail to his short-tempered boss) he wrote 8 simple words:

Every exit is an entrance into new experiences.
