I went looking for something very specific on Amazon.com last week, and that's when I found your book - too bad I have to wait almost two months to read it! In the meantime, I've been very much enjoying your blog - especially today! ROWE echoes the same fantastic paradise I have envisioned in my mind so many times, I just never thought it could actually be possible. No, I'm not a slacker - I'm everything but. I just don't think human beings were meant to waste away at an office desk for 40+ hours a week. Employers don't realize that, for a lot of people (myself included), a paycheck and a token bonus here and there just isn't enough motivation. A person's time is worth something too - in fact, it's priceless. All the money in the world won't buy back time. You know you really believe in an idea when you've been mulling it over in your mind for years, and you are still happy when someone else gets it out there first! Way to go Thompson and Ressler! Michelle, thank you so much for posting this!
