Download, Gig Economy, Wimpy Kid
The "Fiction Family" download is finally available on ninetyandnine.com! Enjoy!Also . . .
Read this on the "Gig Economy." I think much of the Western world in 2009 is living this now. It might give you some insight into the world today (and your world tomorrow?). Killer opening:
"No one I know has a job anymore. They've got Gigs. To people I know in the bottom income brackets, living paycheck to paycheck, the Gig Economy has been old news for years. What’s new is the way it’s hit the demographic that used to assume that a college degree from an elite school was the passport to job security."
Plus . . .
If you don't know about the Wimpy Kid craziness, you don't have a kid in Elementary school. Check it out anyway.
And . . .
I started Like Water for Elephants, and wondered what the book-selling phenomenon was about. Did nothing for me. Didn't sound real, but cliched.
