Jobs. Who needs them? Almost everyone. Like death and taxes, work is inescapable. Our jobs define us and task us. They support our families and sometimes kill our spirit. Nothing gets under our skin the way our jobs do.Acclaimed poet and novelist Mario Milosevic offers 100 sharp tales of employment—each exactly 100 words long. Sometimes shocking, sometimes poignant, but always enlightening and entertaining, these narratives bare the souls of laborers doing what they have to do to make a living.
