I could go out and make $600 per day as a temp, but I don't want to. I
don't like interviewing as I already mentioned in my "Unmade Beds" review.
I don't want the stress of working under the gun, which all contract
programmers do. I also don't have the sort of consumerist appetites I had
20 years ago. The phenomenon, which affects even Marxists like myself, is
called "downshifting" as opposed to "downsizing."
