Figuring out that if he doesn't like his current job, maybe he should find another one first before quitting seems beyond him. That is because he can always go home and live with Mom. He is one step from crime. Nobody has ever told him that entry level jobs are boring, and that's the way it is.

Hey, nothing wrong with that. Tying ties is tricky. Left hand, right hand, in the mirror, back to front, over and under and backwards and forwards. <Nearest this guy has every come to planning anything is not untying his tie because he can't figure out how to retie it - and isn't that a sad example. > Once achieved, never doing it again is a good thing. Then one can concentrate on remembering what one is supposed to do when getting to work. I have ties tied for the last 10 years. It's only if some silly customer decides to pull one's tie, making the knot too tight, or cut it with a pair of scissors [which a woman in Tokoroa used to do to "souveneir" ties of visiting salesmen] that one needs to tie a knot, with long and painful attempts. Unbelievably, boys used to voluntarily join boy scouts, which was a torture organisation dedicated to absurdly complex knots. Lately, they are apparently hot-beds of paedophilia, but I didn't see that. I was only in scouts for a short time, never getting my "Tenderfoot", so maybe I missed the ministrations of some "Leader". A woggle was a good thing now that I think of it. No need to tie a tie with a woggle. I think that's what it's called [going back 45 years = testing memory]. Sure enough, it's a woggle. myweb.ix.net.au Hmmm, profit-making opportunity! I shall design a Maori motif woggle and also a tie [also Maori motif]. Men try all sorts of sartorial approaches to look tidy, even dressy, without wearing a tie and looking preppy and being "A Suit". They usually fail. Simply leaving a tie off looks careless and untidy. Polo necks look gay. Low necks look too tough-guy sleazy. Especially if polluted with a gold chain [a hideous accoutrement on a male]. You see rows of people and men are all in some kind of uniform while women look like flowers among them. Blokes need some escape route. The Maori woggle is the way. It's a tough-guy aesthetic which counteracts the sissy factor in "neckerchiefs", en.wikipedia.org while maintaining dressiness and convenience. Facial tattoos optional. This bloke could wear a pink neckerchief, with rose-shaped red woggle and would not look too sissified: static.flickr.com Mqurice PS: I found how to tie "four in hand" in passing. tie-a-tie.net Looks easy! I guess mirrors make it harder. Plus, they don't mention that you have to get the length just right.
