Leisure Specialist

A lay off, reduction in force, a freaky boss who hates you, a company that mismanaged time and money to your financial detriment is no threat -- if this happens to you, you gain a new job title: Leisure Specialist. Some people say that unemployment is bad -- the smart ones channel their energy in ways that are envied by the working stiff. They are never bored. Call me at 2am, I'm up.

I'm not unemployed, I'm a Leisure Specialist.

Gentleman of Leisure

A man who derives a living from their own finacial assets or has other sources of irregular income leaving them financially secure without any typical employment, duties, or financial responsibilities. Such a man may be self-made or they may be the result of inheritance. A true gentleman of leisure enjoys a high quality of life involving mostly recreation and leisure activity, and often prides himself as a playboy, adventurer, or a gentleman gambler. While most are wealthy enough to remain without occupation they will often portray occupation with some line of work such as an investor, speculator, business owner, professional gambler, or even being involved in some sort of illegal or illicit trade.
