A while ago, my friend Marie recommended I read Iain Levison’s A Working Stiff’s Manifesto.  I finally got around to it this summer.  It’s fantastically funny and unfortunately true.

I get the newspaper and dig through the classifieds.

It’s the same old crap.  “CAREER OPPORTUNITY!!!” screams an ad for a $6.25 an hour warehouse clerk.  Then they mention that they drug test.  Who are they kidding?  They’re discouraging their target market.  Who but a crack head would want an opportunity like that?
