A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 59 excerpt)
Story 59 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
I have spent most of my adult life avoiding gainful employment.
I remember telling my guidance counselor at the age of
fourteen that I wanted to be a shepherd. I pictured myself
lazing under a giant oak, my trusty staff at my side, ready to
rescue any wayward sheep. But shepherding was not on his list
of future occupations, so he checked off actuary for me. For
years I thought the two were synonymous.
