It’s a funny book about an irate goofball trying to find his first real job. One reviewer called it a "millennial’s reinterpretation of the offbeat comedy 'A Confederacy of Dunces,'” which I think summarizes the intent nicely. It’s only $2.99 on Amazon, and it’s free on Kindle Unlimited. Finally, I’d love your feedback about the podcast. Head to FunnyInFiveHundred.com/POD to take a quick 3-question survey.
