Contest! Win a copy of The Toilet Business

Good morning! The Toilet Business is published.  If you’re a fan of David Sedaris, Laurie Notaro or Rachel Thompson, this book is for you.

The blurb:

Stacey Wallace Benefiel has been a butcher, a baker and would totally entertain the idea of being a candlestick maker.

Over the past eighteen years she’s worked nearly fifty jobs, ninety percent of which were crappy. Along the way, she’s racked up several degrees in professions people don’t actually need degrees for and has filled out so much FAFSA paperwork that she can do it with her eyes closed.

From motel housekeeper, to fry cook, to Tower Records salesperson, Stacey has weathered her employment adventures with a smile on her face, uncomfortable shoes on her feet, and a double Jack and Coke in hand.

Her employment history gives new meaning to the phrase retail therapy.

You can purchase TTB at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords.

You can tell me about the crappiest job you’ve ever had and enter to win a copy!

Jot down your workplace trials and tribulations in the comments.  Make sure to include an e-mail address so that I can send you the book if your story is chosen.  I’m giving away 5 e-books.  The winners will be chosen by me.  The contest ends at 9am PST on Monday the 23rd.

I can’t wait to hear everyone’s stories.  The world overfloweth with crappy jobs and the people who have to do them.
