Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net  a"New Hire" by Dave Dryfoos is a science fiction story written in the early 21st century. The narrative follows Boswell W. Budge, a man grappling with the societal expectations that come with turning forty, marking a significant shift in his life as he must transition from a life of leisure to employment. The book explores themes of work, aging, and societal norms in a futuristic setting.  The plot centers on Bozzy, who, on the pivotal morning of his 40th birthday, prepares to take over a job from an older colleague, Mr. Kojac. As he navigates his feelings of dread and reluctance about entering the workforce, his interactions with his family and colleagues reveal a comedic yet poignant perspective on societal pressures. After a ceremonial passing of roles, Bozzy ultimately confronts the reality of his new responsibilities and the absurdity of his situation, culminating in a darkly humorous ending that highlights the underlying tensions about aging and the lifecycle of work in their advanced society.
