"Tom Davis is such an asshole. He caught me in the back room writing on this pad and chewed me out. Tom Davis!! Officially, my rank at Electronics Pit is higher than his! I could squash him like a bug! If I cared. He thinks he’s such a hot shot. He wants to be big someday. He wants to shoot for that second employee of the month. I can just see the smug, genuinely proud look on his face as he shakes hands with Arnold, our fat head manager, and has his picture taken with his plaque for the highest sales… He’s a real go getter. [a carbon copy of the training manual.] Tom’s going to go far in this world. Maybe some day he’ll even manage his OWN Electronics Pit. Yessir. Tom Davis, I salute you."

Leopold McGinnis, author of Game Quest, The Red Fez, OW member and Youtube weirdo, has just released his latest novella, Bad Attitude! 

Bad Attitude follows the story of Jesse Durnell, a nihilistic optimist, in his ongoing attempts to get fired from his current job as a Sales Associate at the retail giant Electronics Pit. “Getting hired, that’s the hard part. Staying hired – now that’s easy.” In the past year, since quitting his high profile office job Jesse has decided to join wholeheartedly in what he calls ‘the kicking game,’ the dog-eat-dog world of wage-slavery. Jesse battles secret shoppers, sales training, overeager coworkers and customers in his quest to get kicked the most. When the time is up, he’ll move on to another McJob. After all, there are an unlimited supply of them! If life is a complete joke, he’d rather be near the punchline!

You can buy the book, or read the whole thing, seriazlied one chapter a week, at www.redfez.net/leopold/store/Bad_Attitude . Three chapters are already up, so go check it out!
