Dumb Luck (2014)
“I was a little ticked off at Carver for wanting to rain on my parade. None of that bad stuff would happen to me. I wouldn’t let it happen.
But it was starting to sink in. I was going to have to use my head. I’d been coasting most of my life. I had never had to look out for my back. And I also had never tried too hard at anything. Never really put my full brain to work.
And I’d been okay with that.
But maybe it wasn’t going to work like that anymore.
Maybe having a pile of money ...was itself like some kind of job. Maybe even a difficult job that you had to work at.
I had a free period in the morning and dropped by Mr. Carver’s office. I owed him that for cutting me some slack.
“How’s the life of the rich and famous?” he asked.
“I’m learning the ropes.”
“Good. You look up those names?”MoreLess
