It’s the perfect gift for those office parties where you need something clever and fun yet inexpensive. As a software engineer who spent years in a cube-farm, I heard all these expressions a lot. As I think back on them, the biting sarcasm in the book (which is funny) rings true with the many times a boss or co-worker said them to me.
Be warned; many of the “hidden meaning” definitions are R-rated. I dinged it one star for this, but I otherwise loved it. This is definitely not a children’s humor book! But anyone who has spent months or years in a cube-farm will get several belly laughs reading it. Some will leave you shaking your head, but if you’ve had them used on you at work… you’ll appreciate the humor. Others will make you laugh, others will leave you wondering what else people may really be saying to you.
Ever had a week where you’re not only grateful it’s the weekend but surprised you survived? How about a week like this because of something your boss or a co-worker said to you or about you? Have you been on the receiving end of a bolt out of the blue comment that threw you for a loop? At times like that, this book will bring tears to your eyes because you’re laughing so hard. So get a copy for yourself when you have one of those weeks.
This is a witty, sarcastic, but fun book to read that doubles as printed stress relief and reminder we live and work among, “a fascinating bunch, we Human Beings.” It serves up a healthy dose of humor to heal your bruised psyche. Get one for your emotional medicine cabinet or to send someone “special” a message they need to hear!
