Fun book about an unfun place

What a fun read! I really enjoyed Thompson's take on life in an office. It's a hoot, but the humor couches some actual-factual advice that readers can truly use. If you've ever worked in an office, there will be more than one passage you wish your current or former co-workers would read and take to heart.

show u care!

This was a really funny book that anyone can appreciate. Filled with great "survival" advice, I think it would be a great "cube farm initiation 101" gift for the college graduate entering the corporate world!

LOL harmless fun

Anyone will be able to relate to this book. All the characters named within "are" co-workers or former co-workers of ours. Thompson's book is fun and most of all, a LOL quick read. Great water cooler topic of conversation for all us business types who actually work in a "cubicle farm".

Funny cuz it's true

must read, you will find an example of everyone you work with in this book. Keep on your desk as a reference book. Hard to explain The office lamprey without it.

So on the mark!!!

Having worked on the cubicle farm for far too many years to recount, this book described the farm and it's animals perfectly. You even wonder "is he decribing me?!?!?". Just be careful who's listening if you decide to read excerpts out loud in the office! Honestly, while reading it on the train, I was laughing so hard tears were rolling down my face. Read it, share it with others!
