Apathy and Other Small Victories

Despite a busy weekend and LOTS of hockey on tv, I managed to finish this book by my self-imposed deadline. The verdict - I loved it!

I may have never worked in a cubicle, but I have worked in an office for most of my adult life and could completely relate to a lot of that part of the book. The people, for instance, who pass you in the hallway and greet you with "Is it Friday yet?" - even funnier because I was reading this part last night while half-watching Office Space on tv.

I found bits of it a little Douglas Adams-ish, it was that kind of odd humor that you find in his Hitchhiker series. Maybe it was just the robot voice.

Favorite line in the book is from chapter 10: "If disgust was a shotgun I would've blown my own head off."

I'll pick next week's book tomorrow afternoon...
