Not depressed yet, read this book.

According to this book, I only have a little time left. I have turned down some better jobs and am going to coast through this one until Social Security time. I am saving my meager discretionary income for vacations while I can still walk and remember how to put on my socks. My 401 (k) bit the dust, but that is tough. Maybe can sell this book. I am going to let my body fall apart, as there is no use in maintaining it. If you are not depressed, you will be. I do not mean to be a pessimist, but I am going to read a good spy novel and get rid of the nasty taste of this book.
