My mistake - it's the smart lazy man who gets on the general staff!

My husband refers to himself as "Rommel's smart lazy man."

The funny thing is that he's absolutely right. One of the reasons I married him.

I’ve been reading a lot of WW2 books.
I never realized that Patton and Montgomery both greatly admired Rommel and hated each other with a passion.

Yep, the smart lazy man gets all the opportunities in life. I had to learn that the hard way. Right now, I’m trying to overcome my desire to work in a diligent manner. But as many have noticed my frequent Asia postings on on Free Republic during my scheduled work hours, show that I’m unable to enjoy the lazy life. And when I’m not posting stories at my desk, I read big books. Right now, I’m reading a biography on George Washington. But the book is a bad influence on me. It shows how our Founding Father became successful due to his hard work ethic. Perhaps, I should follow the advice of my Chinese colleagues and just play computer games. But whenever I try that, I quickly lose interest and go back to Free Republic. I hope I someday find a cure, because I would prefer to earn more money.
