Feeling sad and angry because a whole day of work lies between you and the weekend? Stay angry — and feel good about your pessimism –

>> If you are sad and angry about your job, you’ll want to pick up Take This Job & Shove It, a new book by Tyler Tervooren of Advanced Riskology. Says Tyler in an interview at Rowdy Kittens:

When I was still working in the construction industry, almost every single day I’d have a chat with my co-workers (and even my boss!) about what we’d do if we didn’t need our jobs anymore…. Every day we’d have this conversation and every day it would end with everyone saying, “but I’m lucky to have this job.”

I wrote the guide for anyone that’s had that conversation before, whether it was with friends or just with their self.

Take This Job & Shove It has a green bent that emphasizes minimizing living expenses (as in buying less crap) and maximizing life experiences. Download the book — FREE! — to find out how you can create a Fuck You Fund to get you ready to quit your job.

>> Resist all thoe pop psych that tells you to Smile or Die, argues Barbara Ehrenreich of Nickeled and Dimed fame. Fuck all that mandatory optimism and cheerfulness inspired by The Secret, along with the totalitarian societal control that can come with it, says Barbara in this animated 10-minute talk — though not exactly in those words. (Thanks to Elliott for the link!)
