In this funny and relatable guide to surviving the corporate world, Michael Steadman offers the honest advice that every office worker needs.
Ask a million kids where they imagine working as a grown up and none will mention sitting in a cubicle under bad florescent lighting.
But in adulthood we pragmatically agree to work for the man to pay the bills. While there can be a nice financial upside, it's also a path filled with stress and absurdity.
Somehow you need to survive all of this, but how?
By reading my excellent and reasonably-priced book, of course!
Whether you're a bright-eyed recent grad facing your first full-time job or a cynical cubicle commando dreaming of retirement, this book is for you.
You may never done an astronaut suit or play music or a sport in front of a sell-out crowd, but it's totally fine. Most people never do.
In this book, you'll find helpful, humorous wisdom on surviving the daily grind. Whatever your work circumstances, you need to find the funny because, frankly, if you lose your sense of humor, you're screwed.
