Better Than It Gets Paul Hillier

Eight years Danielle's worked for Technical Resources and Information Computing. Her father's happy. His lovely daughter has a career. Her mother just wishes Danielle would get married. Why'd she go to college if it wasn't to find a husband? Her sister thinks Danielle will eventually be a pensioner, one of those people who reminisce about how the good-old company did things. Her friend Julie thinks Danielle should quit. Better Than it Gets is at times thoughtful and laugh-out-loud funny. The book takes on the modern work world, from corporate culture to academia, but is also a search for past promise, family and friendship. It's irreverent and unexpectedly moving. Danielle, Julie, and, of course, Skippy may become your new heroes.
