To whom it concerns

Submitted today:

I hereby declare my resignation from my position as research assistant at the Board of Governors. My last work day will be Thursday, July 23, 2009. This is the best job I've ever had. I'll regret leaving this position for the rest of my life, unless, of course, I return as an economist or governor. My next step is to begin studies toward a Ph.D. in statistics at Carnegie Mellon University.
