Grumpiness is COOL or a review on "Grumpy Old Workers"

Do you sometimes find yourself asking the question: "Is it just me or is everything....?(I leave the word up to your choice). The author of this book has made a fortune thanks to this approach. The idea of the whole "Grumpy Old.." books arose from reading a newspaper article which published the results of a survey searching for the grumpiest group of people in UK. The result was that 35-55 year olds,  predominantly males have the primacy in this category.
Since I have first seen the TV adaptation of Grumpy Old Men/Women the idea immediately caught up on me. In spite of being young (under 25), I also find myself trying to let the steam out by counting to ten on several occasions during the day.
Grumpy Old Workers is author''s account of his life-long experience with in the ruthless world of emloyement. It offer an interesting insight into the social reality of the gone-by days but also of the present "daily" grind. The author begins with describing his experiences of Work since very early childhood - the age of 8 when he was doing the paperound, continuing with the jobs he had during his teenage years and finally moving on to a charm of "the proper jobs"
The book is interesting and exhilirating read offering a satirical outlook on work and life as such. So, if  you keen on  witty humour with a bit of spice this book will definitely meet your expectations.
