Why are we all expected to do something to make money?

Why must we work?

There must be a better way.

This book is a tale of a less-than-ordinary life that some choose to lead.

This is an everyman struggle set in the 1980s. Mrs T is in number 10, it is grim up north, and there is not a full job to be found. Simon therefore sets off on the temp trail. This is a true tale of trying to find some worthwhile work and something more than a meagre payslip.

These are the jobs no one wants, and you are the misfit no one wants. If there is a positive, it is that the time spent in each is mercifully short.

Will the sun come out along the way? Who knows?
