Unjobbing: The Adult Liberation Handbook
By... some guy, I can't find it on my bookshelf. Joey is looking for it.
It tells about how to step off the job treadmill and become very satisfied
with what you have and do what you love.
Here we go Michael Fogler
ISBN# 0-9654834-1-X
Careful, it may change your life.

Elissa,
Did you get alot out of that book?
I ordered it in August, from Amazon and they finally told me in late September they couldn't get it. I was thinking about checking out Fun books to see if they carried it.
If its worth it I'm going to order it.
Thanks,
Kelli

I have that book too. I read some of it to my dh (because he doesn't
read books for himself). He said that his passion is computers and
video games. If he quit his job, then he couldn't afford the game
cube and the x-box or parts to build his own computer. He hates his
job, but he says he'll stick it out because he can retire when he's
50 (a mere 18 years away...sigh...)
Another good book along the same lines is called Possum Living. Dh
said he would rather go to a job he hates than do half of the work
that the people in that book do to keep themselves fed.

Cool, Kelly, and thanks Elissa,
2 years is about our goal too, i would do it now! But my husband is the level headed one of us, he has to be the provider ya know.
We can't unjob with this house either, we thought we maybe found some land last month, but it wasn't quite right, which is probably better,
I must be patient.

I've often thought that what we could do is work things out so that
our kids can unjob if they want to. They will always have their
bedrooms and something to eat in this house. We'll always pay for
the electricity and the cable and the water, etc. So they really
only need to work if they want more than we can honestly afford to
give them, or if they have a particular thing that they're interested
in and want to learn about.

Kelly,
Do they actually buy new books for you? I am a regular, and my husband is on the library board which OKs purchases, but I know funds are limited. They get grants for books but I think they are very mainstream books. Like the top selling ones.
Or do you mean requesting books from other libraries?
Because when I do the request it goes to all libraries in the system. And those libraries don't have them either.
I can buy a few, but I try to be selective, otherwise, you know what we were talking about before, the hundreds of dollars in book store bills, that tends to be me and I won't be in the unjobbing world quick enough if I keep doing that. (This is what I have to tell myself!<g>)

noticed yesterday they had a book with a "new" sticker on it that we had
requested from interlibrary loan and mentioned it to the librarian. She read
it when it came in and decided her children's section should purchase it.
On the other hand, they were a bit put off by Nathan's Swan Lake obsession.
We were the only ones in there for a while and we got some big kid ballet
books, which he loved. Then he started dancing around. They don't mind
noise, I think they were just put off by the boys and ballet thing. One of
the ladies said "Well, it can't hurt him." As if she has trying to convince

I'd request the unjobbing book or if you have to buy it, go used from Amazon.

Grace). A few Holt's they didn't have. Some dog breed and training books I
requested. Some beekeeping books. We haven't gotten Mary Griffith's books
yet, but I asked again. But I bought it myself.
>>They get grants for books but I think they are very mainstream books.Like the top selling ones.
But if there are a lot of requests for homeschooling books, I guess they're
considerd "top-sellers"! <G> I have two other friends that request the same
books---so maybe they need more than one request? Depends on the library
maybe. I've had NO trouble getting in homeschooling books---maybe because I'm
so active/vocal in homeschooling and I'm in the library 2-3 times a week?
I LOVE our library!

**Because when I do the request it goes to all libraries in the system.
And those libraries don't have them
either.**
The "inter-library loan" is supposed to go beyond the system. It sounds
really cool to me, but I haven't used it yet. Some libraries do it for
free, others that I've heard of charge a fee.

Kelly and Elizabeth,
You guys are lucky, our library is connected with other libraries in our region, northern Minnesota, but these are very conservative IMO, and a bit behind sometimes, except for those 'best' sellers. They have all the new fiction but nonfiction would be another thing. For example, I couldn't get The Continuum Concept, so I ordered that one. If I could be connected up with Minnespolis/St. Paul I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem.
I don't know if I dare go through amazon again with that book, maybe I'd have a better chance going through the used side? The thing with that is that usually I end up spending just as much with shipping, I'll price both, there and FUN books.

it when it came in and decided her children's section should purchase it.
On the other hand, they were a bit put off by Nathan's Swan Lake obsession.
We were the only ones in there for a while and we got some big kid ballet
books, which he loved. Then he started dancing around. They don't mind
noise, I think they were just put off by the boys and ballet thing. One of
the ladies said "Well, it can't hurt him." As if she has trying to convince
herself!
I'd request the unjobbing book or if you have to buy it, go used from Amazon.

I ordered about 10 books from interlibrary loan in August. It's
December and I haven't gotten any of them yet. I asked the librarian
about it and she said there are problems with the interlibrary loan
system. I seem to do better with half.com. ;)

Sheila,
Is half.com the same as amazon in ordering? I've never used it, I suppose I could go check it out, but I'm being lazy.

Oh yes, small town Minnesota has quite a hard time stepping out of the box, and sometimes I feel back in the 50's. I know quite a few June Cleavers in my area!
I mention Continuum Concept to people and noone has heard of it. Not even my nursing buddy.
