Whilst my current office job is a never-ending source of complaints it has also inspired some reading material that i wouldn't otherwise be drawn to.


Namely other people's stories of dissatisfaction at work and at the sim-like existence that we all now inhabit.
Some recent winners have included JPOD by Douglas Coupland...
Then we came to the end, by Joshua Ferris...

(this was quite funny.... )
and I am currently reading Affluenza by Oliver James... I haven't got very far yet though... and while his points are a bit obvious:
'constantly comparing your lot with others, especially those who have more than you, is not a perscription for feeling safe.'
It is still quite interesting, and will hopefully inspire me to clear some of my clutter and stop craving quite so many new clothes...
