I hope you read that title with the sarcasm infused in it.

I have so many well-meaning friends/family that say things like "Why don't you just go on disability?" If they weren't such wide-eyed innocents, I'd surely smack 'em.

They think you just wake up some morning deciding you don't feel like working any more, go to the "Disability Office", sign up (no doctor's note necessary), pick up your first check and a note for your boss.

You take the note to your employer, clean out your desk, and go happily on your way. All before 9:00 a.m. Easy-peasy. Golly, why didn't I think of that?
