My Review: I actually really enjoyed this. It's a pretty quick read, and at times quite humorous (for example reincarnation is explained as getting fired but then rehired), but still brings home a good message. I definitely think it's something you want to read when you need a shift in perspective, or a reminder of what it means to share the same outlook as the Shareholder,er, God.

This book sounds really interesting.
This story isn't really fair to my job because it wasn't the worst job, but it was one of the worst/oddest job experiences I ever had.
I used to work at a little snow cone shop and one day I was driving by and my workplace was GONE! Lots of people have said they "lost" their job. But I was one of the few who actually had it happen to them. So the worst part was losing a great summer job that was pretty fun to have.
The worst job I ever had was at a rose (as in the plant) factory. I spent 8 hours a day packaging rose bush plants- thorns and all. It was monotonous mind-numbing and painful all at the same time. It was really really horrible.

Hi, I love the sound of this book. I am 51 and trying to find my niche in this world! One of the worst jobs I have ever had is doing fashion displays in a store's windows. It was in the summer and extremely hot in the display area in the front of the store! The manager was exceptionally particular. I used straight pins, an iron, etc. because every little pleat and tuck had to be perfect. I think she wanted to torture me. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

my worst job: working at a jewelry store, not selling jewelry, but keeping it shiny and clean. but the worst part was the store was owned by 2 brothers, one who liked me and one who didn't. talk about serving 2 masters...they were always telling me to do different things and I couldn't seem to do everything right :(
