Pam and I met a few years back when I was starting my blog, and we’ve exchanged books and become friends. Her book was released last year, and for no good reason, I didn’t interview her then. This year, her book is out in paperback, and I LOVE the book, so I wanted to help her promote the book and share some insights with you. NOTE: Pam and I both agree, jumping out of the corporate America window is NOT for everybody. Even if that isn’t your thing, you can still learn a lot from our conversation about finding a mentor and more. Escape from Cubicle Nation Makes It Great from Phil Gerbyshak on Vimeo. It’s about 32 minutes long, and we did it on 2 takes. The first...

Horrors! How disgraceful! What humiliation! How preposterous! Why, I loathed the taste of liquor – drinking was simply a means of escape when my sorrows became too great for me to endure. Even after it had been explained to me that alcoholism is a disease, I could not realize that I had it. I was still ashamed, still wanted to hide behind the screen of reasons made up of unjust treatment, unhappiness, tired and dejected, and the dozens of other things that I thought lay at the root of my search for oblivion by means of whiskey or gin. In any case, I felt quite sure that I was not an alcoholic.” (A Feminine Victory; Personal Story from the First Edition of the book Alcoho...

They are skilled in the games they choose to play and are able to control both the amount of money and time spent gambling. Thus, professional gamblers are not addicted to gambling. They patiently wait for the best bet and then try to win as much as they can. 2 – In contrast to professional gamblers, antisocial or personality gamblers use gambling as a way to get money by illegal means. They are likely to be involved in fixing horse or dog races, or playing with loaded dice or marked cards. They may attempt to use a compulsive gambling diagnosis as a legal defence. 3 – Casual socia...

As I think, I scrub the wall on my knees beneath the window sill. I have learned that the new phrase was a mistake. Running around the garden shouting “no knickers, no food” did not have the desired effect. In the 93 degree heat, I learn that my voice carries one block with an easterly breeze and that no-one is allergic to ‘outside’ anymore. My neighbour advises me that ‘drawers’ or ‘pants’ is more socially appropriate for public broadcasts. I discover that my son will consume Ritz crackers as a substitute for Goldfish crackers but that eating them without suitable attire is a dangerous pastime. I learn that our home is not entirely burglar proof, that ...

Others beat the winds of the upper air to get into the office daily for the same reason. What about you? Do you prefer home or find more benefits in a public workplace?

Your's truly has been hard at work on a project that will actually pay me for words I write. I don't want to jinx things until I have an actual check in my hand, so you'll have to wait to hear all the details. I will say, however, that this is bad news for all you freeloaders who have refused to compensate me one bit for everything I have given you over the years. People who give me money get my time before people who don't. I can be very Republican about things like this. The good news is that the possibility of a bidding war is still open to you. For the right price, I will happily write a blog for your eyes only. And it will be kick-ass. For the right price. You know where to reach me.

One day, when I'm buried in orders for pills and requests for the location of motor oil, when the phone won't quit, the customers have taken a quantum leap in lunacy, and all seems hopeless, she will come in. Our eyes will meet, she will look at me and softly say, "It's time Drugmonkey." I will hop over the counter never to be seen again. She is a real person, but I cannot tell you her name because of what I am about to write. You see, the Drugmonkey has a celebrity crush. Ever since I heard her angelic voice in the time of my internship many years ago, I have known we were destined to be together. Some days the thought that this could be the day of her appearance was the only thing that got me out of bed. Today I checked her central profi...

For years I have seethed with jealousy as the attractive women around me get chance after chance to to enter the world of higher pay, cushy assignments, and all expense paid travel and meals while I am stuck working for a living. I have prayed and hoped and dreamed of the day the executive glass ceiling would be shattered so that I too could have my share of uncomfortable swats on the ass and porn "accidentally" left on the office computer. It's my human right to be harassed.Well things may be looking up in my industry.
