Anti 9-to-5 = Live! Nude! Girls!
Evidently Amazon’s Explore Similar Items bot is linking my book page with every stripper and sex-worker book that’s ever been written. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I certainly support my empowered stripping and sex-working sisters. You’ll even find a dominatrix featured in my book. But you’ll also find the book loaded with tips, anecdotes, and quotes from anti-nine-to-fivers who work in construction, illustration, technology, education, engineering, health care, pet care, ghost tours, the theater, the media, fashion, finance, retail, e-tail, and just about any other field you can think of. Except proctology. That field kind of stinks.
Update: OK, this was funnier (at least to me) when Amazon was actually linking to all those “my year in the life as a call girl” books from mine. Now the Explore Similar Items bot is all about cross-training books, though I suppose you could draw parallels between transitioning into a new career and training for a marathon. Only with career change, you don’t have to choke down that liquid-y carb goo (think PowerBars in a tube) that everyone says is so gross.
