Goodreads Review: On The Clock – What Low-Wage Work Did to Me and How It Drives America Insane

On the Clock: What Low-Wage Work Did to Me and How It Drives America Insane by Emily Guendelsberger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is tremendous and timely. A perfect digital-age follow-up to Barbara Ehrenreich’s “Nickel and Dimed – on (Not) Getting By in America.” Through her jobs at Amazon, Convergys (a call center for client ATT) and McDonald’s, Guendelsberger’s story rips the bandage off of any illusion we might have that these “new” jobs created since the Great Recession (although of course, McDonald’s has been around since the ’50s) are anything like fulfilling or even capable of providing anything remotely resembling a middle class income.

Comprehension erection issues Erection is an intricate methodology embodying an free sample of viagra extent of physical and mental variables. Aging is one of the main culprits of impotence. generic levitra online The process maintains a resourceful master data management process so that precise and the same data is shared within the soft tabs cialis value network, and the travel expense and management process is successfully fulfilled. Chronic GoutsThis is one of the most dangerous purchase cheap cialis of all – passive aggressive. I found her experiential style of writing compelling, like “I was there,” and could really feel the ghastliness of what she describes – particularly in the Amazon and McDonald’s segments. I can say quite honestly I will think twice about insisting on next-day delivery for anything from Amazon, as well as my behavior in interactions with anyone who works in customer service or fast food.

Guendelsberger says at one point that if you are not part of the working class in American you will never truly see what these jobs are like – and I’m grateful I never had to, though some of my earlier jobs as restaurant dishwasher or apartment building doorman were quite soul-sucking in their own regard. A theme throughout is her internal knowledge that “I get to leave” – a realization familiar to me as well, because I always knew those uber-shitty jobs of youth were temporary. For so many people, that’s no longer the case in post-Great Recession America. Highly recommend this book.

Oh well, So much for tryin’ to monetize the old blog

thanks tokiipictures

Yowza! Some of you may have noticed that I recently started posting some advertisements on Jim Arnold’s Blog – for books, for fitness programs, for sexy underwear… and sunglasses.

Well, today I got the third cancellation in my nascent affiliate plan, this one from Undergear. The other two were from Amazon and Bodybuilding.com. It’s all because of a recent law passed in California that requires state tax to be added to purchases from California-based websites selling these merchants’ stuff.

So, I have to laugh. The blog has basically been a labor of love for a couple of years and I only recently had the idea of making a few dollars here and there on it (disclosure: so far I’ve made 50 cents in affiliate ad revenue, but I don’t get a payment till it reaches a threshold, which I think is $10 – not exactly enough to buy that yacht).

I’ve added a bunch of affiliate programs to my “mix” in the last week or so (did you see the ad for Nerdy Shirts???) and so will continue to post those ads until those companies, as well, drop me like a rock.

I’ll miss Undergear and hope they will be back. It sure was fun posting pictures of cute guys in their skivvies onto my blog and possibly making money on it – right. UPDATE 2015: Obviously Amazon ads are back. As there’s one right below this.

Lots of P.O.D. nominees at Lambda Literary

Interesting to see that 7 of the 12 titles listed as of today for the Gay Debut Fiction category (Benediction included) are P.O.D. titles, 6 from BookSurge and 1 from iUniverse.

As beneficial as this “democratization” of the ways to introduce artistic products to the masses is, I for one hope there will always be at least a few movie theaters and brick-and-mortar bookstores around.
