So as I was on vacation I received the email informing me that my Secret Santa had shipped my gift. It was enough to make me want to cut my vacation short, tell my family to fend for themselves, and start hitching across the United States. I decided this probably wasn't a good idea and instead managed to barely hold out from pulling a Forrest Gump and running home then and there. Yesterday I finally got home from a terrible flying experience (over 18 hours in airports/flying and 3 flights later) and lo and behold a happy little package was waiting for me. I was as giddy as a schoolgirl. I tore into that thing like it had besmirched my lady's honor. And what I bounty I found! 2 great books appeared like treasures from beyond! Amped by Daniel H. Wilson and Working for the Man by Jeffrey Yamaguchi. As a man who is currently working his way through college in the punishing world of retail/service for a giant Corporation (you have heard of it) I am sure I will gain much amusement and hopefully some catharsis from Working for the Man. It shall be a solace in times grief and frustration. Now Amped is a book I am really... AMPED (I will just show myself out..) for, I read one of Daniel H. Wilson's earlier books, Robopocalypse, and I have been meaning to pick up some more of his works. I am really excited for this one! I am not entirely sure how my Secret Santa managed to guess this for me as I had kinda forgotten about this author to be honest. Either my Secret Santa is the greatest stalker ever or an excellent guesser, either way, THANK YOU!! My recent airport turmoils had exhausted my reading supplies so I am quite excited to received these books! Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you anonymous internet stranger!
