Hahaha, that’s kind of how I feel. I figure, the more I talk about it, (hopefully) the more people will investigate its joyous wonderfulness for themselves. 😛

I hope you can get hold of a copy! I’d never even heard of it before, but now I know, the sociology section of the bookshop, it has wondrous things in it. In the foreword they mention another book, Working by Studs Terkel, that did the same basic thing but in the 1970s. Now I am madly curious to get that one and see how it compares. I wonder if people were so forthcoming then too!

Oh, there was a lot of stuff like that too. So many people felt like they had to justify themselves – not just when they were actively doing things that were wrong, but to justify themselves for working in that job, and say how you know, this job, it’s not really them, but it does help people in this way and that way. It was equal parts sad and fascinating. And some of the people were really happy, and that was nice. 🙂
