The Idler's Glossary, by Joshua Glenn, "playfully explores the etymology and history of hundreds of idler-specific terms and phrases, while offering both a corrective to popular misconceptions about idling and a foundation for a new mode of thinking about working and not working"
Because of my unfortunate track position, I am home from my lovely school in Rexburg, Idaho until mid-April. I'm running out of things to do and am pretty sure my insanity is on the verge of deteriorating. I've spent the last of my grant money and can't find a job to save my life. Facebook and The Real Housewives of Orange County consume my days, and I've heard nothing but bicker from my mother on how it's not normal to stay up until three in the morning and sleep in until 11:30. I need to find a new hobby. Something I can do now, besides treadmill and Taebo myself to death until I go back to school in April. To start, I want to purchase The Idler's Glossary. A classic piece dedicated to the bored and lazy.
