Meetings, deadlines... colleagues. Surely no torture can crush the
spirit so completely as prolonged exposure to these people. You?ve
faked phone calls to avoid them. You?ve hidden in toilet cubicles
until they?ve gone away. At last there?s an effective way to fight
back.
Pains in the Office will help you identify, shun and plan
your revenge on the 50 worst types of people you meet at work. Your
job may be awful, you may hate your colleagues with a passion, but
here at least is a happy place to retreat into. This is your
comfort blanket, hidey-hole and fire escape all rolled into
one.
Pains in the Office is guaranteed to become as
indispensable to the office worker as cigarette breaks and free
stationery. It?s the perfect antidote to nightmarish co-workers
everywhere!
Andrew Holmes is a writer, grumpy old man, gadfly and collector of stories and observations about the people around him. He spends far too much time getting worked up about other people's failings for his own good and has taken up Salsa dancing to take his mind off it all. he likes to spend as much time as possible with his family - at home, with the curtains drawn, the phone off the hook and the door locked securely. Dan Wilson is an illustrator, artist, thinker and borderline genius who clearly suffers delusions of grandeur. he started doodling at the age of three and has rarely stopped. Allergic to suits, Dan avoids all pains in public by hiding out in his ivory tower in front of the drawing board. He also enjoys tea, pylons and riding his All Terrain Board.

Afterword.
"...ought to elicit a chuckle of recognition or two." (Publishing
News, 19th March 2004)
"Pains in the Office (Capstone 2004) contains pastiches of
easily identifiable office types such as the Boozer, the Butt
Licker and the Bully...this book offers genuinely useful tips on
how to deal with such types. A volume no office lavatory should be
without." (Daily Telegraph, 22nd February 2006)
