The Joys Of Not Working
Through my meandering web-surfing habits I came across two very interesting books. They deal with not working. One of the authors was fired from his engineering jobs and says it was the best thing that ever happened to him. That was 25 years ago and he’s never looked back.

The Joy of Not Working: A Book for the Retired, Unemployed and Overworked- 21st Century Edition

Employees at the Fort Worth headquarters received an email Tuesday morning telling them they were being dismissed immediately. “The work-force reduction notification is currently in progress,” the notice stated. “Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated.”
And since we’re talking about author Ernie Zelinski, might as well check out his other highly regarded book on retirement [actually its supposed to be about living!]
