By Steve Altes

When everyone seems to be climbing the corporate ladder, Steve Altes makes a case for following your muse in the opposite direction. In If You Jam the Copier, Bolt! he shows readers how.Through four years and 11 jobs, the Guru of Getting Fired came up with nearly 500 ways to bug everyone in the workplace. Consider "Tell your boss a 60 Minutes camera crew is waiting outside his office," "Quote Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles a lot," or "Outsource your core competencies." It's Dear Abby advice with a Dilbert spin!

The Author Shamelessly Plugs His Own Book

My book, "If You Jam the Copier, Bolt," is more productivity-sapping than Minesweeper and ten-thousand times cheaper than a Harvard MBA. It is kind of like Dilbert's id on a rant! Buy one for yourself and one for your idiot boss! Besides, I will donate a portion of the profits to charity. The rest will be squandered in a series of foolish get-rich-quick schemes, as usual. Dang!

I've been waiting two years for another book by Steve Altes. He knows how to make a boring office fun.
