Two Words: Read It
This book is probably the funniest thing you will read in a long, long time. It is absolutely, incredibly, painfully funny, and it has some real tips thrown in for good measure. Any one who calls themselves a Dilbert Fan and/or has any sense of humor should get this book. As a DNRC member and a fan who has all Scott Adams' books, I can truly recommend this as one of his best to date.

Got Me Through Many Mondays...
No matter what end of the office spectrum you find yourself on, this book is guaranteed to be an entertaining read, to say the least.

In The Joy of Work, Scott Adams combines his satirical logic with first-hand experience in cubicology (the study of cubicle life) to prove once and for all how a paper-pushing life can still find happiness in a little box. From office pranks to ways in which one can get out of doing any actual work, Scott Adams shows us the ropes of office life.

Honestly, if you or anyone you know finds that getting up every morning to the same routine, working with the same people, in the same small, efficiently-shaped space is becoming unbearable or comparable to spilling hot coffee on yourself, don't hesitate to find relief in this book.

If you've ever asked yourself, "Where is this going?", "Where am I going?", or "How many more days till I can use another sick day?", read this book. I found the answers among the little black squiggles on these rectangly-shaped structures of white cellulose, and I think you can too.

This book is like Chicken Soup for the Cubicle Worker's Soul. (I wouldn't be surprised if that was an actual book...)
