Choose Your Own Misery

From two former contributors to The Onion comes a darkly humorous choose-your-own-path story about life in cubicle land.   Hungover and stuck at a job you hate, will you show up for your big presentation, or duck out with Debby, the HR rep with an FDR fetish? Play the weird lump on your back for office-wide sympathy, or dive into an internet spiral that can only end in “ten kinds of cancer?” Tell someone about the weird genital-fondling that’s happening at the crystal healer’s, or just accept that this is the best substitute you’ll find for love, today...or maybe ever?    From the writers who brought you the hilarious parodies Choose Your Own Misery: Dating and Choose Your Own Misery: The Holidays comes a modern-day tale of woe: the story of your soul-crushing existence. Choosing your own adventure is great when you're a kid, but in the adult world, the only options on offer are endless varieties of misery. In your office adventure there are countless “options,” but they rarely end well. It’s okay, though. A life of adventure would require so many uncomfortable sleeping situations. Besides, you have dental. Keep reminding yourself about the dental.   “A bittersweet, brutal, and frequently hilarious twist on the childhood classics.”―Nerdist.com “It’s time for you to choose your own miserable adventure, just like you do every day of your miserable life, but now in hilarious book form!”—Nate Dern, Funny or Die “Choose Your Own Misery: The Office [is] the most addictive, clever, and honestly hilarious decision tree you've ever read.”—Zack Bornstein, segment director at Jimmy Kimmel Live "Sorry, I've been spending every waking hour lost in your maddening madcap narrative labyrinth.
