I took off from work

　　My personnel-management class consisted mainly of adult, working students. One night while discussing job enrichment, the teacher asked if any of us would be happy doing what we did that day for the rest of our lives. A student in the back raised his hand. Surprised, the teacher asked him, "What did you do today?" Smiling, he said, "I took off from work."

　　我曾参加过一个员工管理培训课程，我们班上基本上都是成年人和一些半工半读的学生。一天晚上我们在课上讨论工作丰富化的问题。我们的老师问我们当中有没有人愿意一辈子做今天所做的`事情。坐在教室最后面的一个学生举起了手。老师觉得很惊奇，于是问那个学生，“你今天做什么来着?”，学生笑着回答，“我今天请假了”。
