    About this ebook

    Each title in the Not Your Mother's Book series contains approximately 60 real-life stories dedicated to a unique theme, drawn from the passion and experience of dozens of writers in a whimsical and entertaining mix of irreverence and humor. Founded by former coauthors and editors of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, this similarly styled anthology series foregoes the sad, sappy, preachy, or death-oriented stories that were that series' hallmark, and unlike that series, is never afraid to be a little risqué. These stories are funny, daring, different, and smart.Humor makes the workplace go-round--and tolerable! That's what you'll find in this book--funny stories from the trenches of working stiffs near and far. From hair dressers to teachers, steel workers to even a happy hooker, you'll learn that money doesn't grow on trees, but is earned through hard work . . . and laughter along the way. The 59 workplace short stories will allow readers to chuckle about antics and mistakes by people just like themselves.
