One of my favorite blogs / podcasts (Hey Andrew, do the podcast more often and make it longer!) is the new home of the Working Podcast, Jobacle.com. Many of the ideas that got me started on this blog dedicated to commuting can be traced back to sending Andrew funny stories about my own morning commute for him to read on the show (like the guy I saw playing a guitar and driving at the same time, and then a few weeks later somebody drumming and driving, and we're talking with actual drumsticks. I wonder if they ever ran into each other.)
Anyway, somehow he's in a position to score free stuff to give away (I want free stuff to give away too!) and that's exactly what he's doing. This time it's a book called 101 Ways To Get Fired. Sounds like fun. Everybody has those days when they're prepared to let just the next little thing finally be the one to make them say "Screw it, I'm outta here." Sounds like this book would be loaded up with ways to take that first step.
I remember my dad telling me once about what he'd do if he ever won the big money in the lottery. Unlike everybody that quits their job, he said, "No, no, I'd go in to work just like normal, not say anything to anybody. But the first time somebody came by and said Hey Dan, how's it going? I'd throw my hat on the ground, yell That's it! and walk out and leave them all wondering what the hell just happened."

Duane,
You've been with the WP from the start and I can't thank you enough! We'll have to dig up an extra book to send you!
Likewise, I enjoy your blog. Good luck winning the free Wii! ;-)
Thanks Andrew :). On one of my other blogs somebody said that I should have entered the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest. I said "Yeah, but if I did that, I would have died....oh."
Normally I wouldn't be so spammy but like I said, I kinda dig the whole way of saying "Yes, this evil" and doing it anyway. It's hardly going to kill anybody.
