Andrew Edwards chronicles the uncertainty of the 2008-2012 recession through his own adventures in temp work. Through a haze of mindless jobs in droning mail rooms, handling deaf senior citizens on the phone, parading about in costume, and bizarre encounters in places most people would not visit, Andrew takes stock of our collective lot in recounting employment for only the bravest, or most desperate among us. Part documentary, part social experiment, part modern history, this work assists in defining life in the United States against the backdrop of global economic uncertainty. Andrew's distinctive voice shines through the text, as his dry wit punctuates the narrative, giving readers insight into his unusual experiences.
