NEW SERIES BY TOM J. BROSS

The average American has thirteen jobs in a lifetime. Tom Bross has had at least forty. Don’t worry — this is only Book One.

You should know up front that this book is a pathetic, self-indulgent journey through a topic generally hated by everyone. Work. And he hopes you love it.

He’s been a pot-scrubber, a porter, a pizza guy, and a dancing genie. He’s had a boss who fired him, a boss who mentored him, and a boss whose mixed-up metaphors drove him crazy. He sent out a résumé with a photo of himself bursting out of a walnut shell—caption: That’s me in a nutshell—and somehow it worked. He went behind the scenes at Jelly Belly and spent an afternoon in the lab tasting jellybeans flavored like booger, earwax, and burnt rubber. He sang a State Farm jingle at the worst possible moment. And somehow on the morning of an interview, he rubbed sports cream into his eye. He also started catching feelings for a coworker who was—by his own panicked math—far too young for him, so naturally he did the mature thing and pretended it wasn’t happening.

Work Work Work is a memoir told one paycheck at a time, by a guy who has loved most of his jobs, hated a few of them, and is still trying to come up with a clean answer to “What do you do?” If you’ve ever stared down a Monday morning and thought what the hell am I doing here—pull up a chair. Tom’s just getting started…
