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?
