'This is a book of satirical and humorous short stories about people working, appearing to work or endeavouring to maintain a work position while living with a problem caused by their boss, their fellow workers, home interference, the organisation itself or a physical or mental malady. Many of the people in these stories are ordinary, reasonable folk. But as there is no such thing as a ‘normal’ person, they are all a tad different or slightly odd, as are most of us.
'Some are a little idiosyncratic, some have real or imaginary problems and some should receive immediate professional assistance. They all work – or are in a work situation – and the two are not synonymous. You may have met a few of them' (Publication summary)
