For years I've been thinking about how to get out of corporate America and do something with my life.  Don't ge me wrong, working in corporate America is better than slaving in a tobacco field in 95 degree heat, trying to scrape out a living.  But there's nothing inherently significant with it, either.  Then, I saw (and subsequently read) a book my brother-in-law (creator of The Five Hour Workweek) was reading, called The Four Hour Work Week, about a guy who had similar, albeit more hyperactive, thoughts.  Prior to reading the book, it was hard to envision how I would get out of corporate America without first being in it for 40 years, becoming a professional plantiff, joining a monastery, or dying young.  Fortunately, I now have hope.  Thus begins my journey toward The Five Hour Workweek, which gives me one hour per week of overtime pay.
