Every Saturday I have to do the most boring part of my job, which is proofreading the Book Review. Imagine proofreading the Billboard music charts, and then proofreading them again with most of the miscellaneous numbers removed. It's kind of a buzzkill, but the upside is that it makes me want to, like, read actual books. Also, I spend a good chunk of my life on public transportation. So I read a lot.
In light of the terrible state of the print journalism industry, I'm currently reading And then we came to the end, by Joshua Ferris. Which is about stupid office drama as people at at ad agency get laid off and occasionally suffer nervous breakdowns. It's a lot like "the office" in book form, only kind of depressing, and I mean that in the best possible way.
But on that note, I found out today that my job is safe from the current round of layoffs. Praise the Lord and pass me my Mastercard!
