Sorry 'bout that. I used to live in Highlands Ranch, so it was cool to hear all the references to places I'm familiar with. I did enjoy the book, and I have Legon Awakening loaded up. Thanks!

But your right I wikipedia'd it, either way we are still talking about the same great restaurant. The one in the book is the actual, the restaurant is there. Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the book! Nick Brian,

Yeah, yeah, work of fiction, and in this fictional world the wing joint is called BW2. No, it's BW3. It’s BW3, not BW2.

This is like the audio version of the Dilbert comic strip. That is meant as a compliment. Having worked for the company that sets the rates and determines the classifications for workers comp insurance, I can totally relate to the shenanigans and corporate bone-headedness related in the story. The author's dry, almost Steven Wright-like delivery makes it that much better. Kudos on the homages to the other podcasts and podcasters we all know and love. Listening to the fourth installment.

Thanks for making my office days a little more fun.

It was actually the first podiobook I downloaded, so I feel like I'm off to a good start! The characters were funny, and I got wrapped up in the way they interacted with each other. Made me laugh out loud in a lot of places. Good work, Nick! I had a lot of fun listening to this book. It was actually the first podiobook I downloaded, so I feel like I’m off to a good start!

The book is fun. The office antics are what makes it humorous even if you haven't work in an office. I would also disagree. The book is fun.

It reminds me of so many people that I work with. I can totally relate to the hum drum life the main charater has. I think that anyone who has worked in a boring job with wackadoo coworkers could relate to the antics of Bill. I think this book is hilarious. It reminds me of so many people that I work with.

Four episodes in, which I think a reasonable length of time to give any book, I had to call it a day. It has an insipid, erratic, poorly planned, storyline without much direction and less engagement. Nothing essentially happens here, and the skill of the author that imparts the mundane isn't sufficient to maintain any reasonable level of interest. The characters have a very distinct 'paint by numbers' feel to them that makes them seem isolated from each other and the story. Any real continuity is lost in a documentary type account of office happenings which lacks any real humour and could quite probably be any office workers boring daily existence. It can be quite time consuming wading through stories on this site trying to find good ones, so I have primarily taken to listening to stories in the charts as an exercise in time conservation. I was consequently quite surprised when I started listening to this one which was chart listed, but fell somewhat below par in my opinion. It needs a lot of work and the author has a long way to go before this is anywhere near acceptable. This book is at best average.

That's the secret language Timothy and Lauren Hutton speak to each other at their SAG meetings. Yes, I have too much time on my hands.
