Book Review: The Official Rules at Work by Paul Dickson (1996)

I bought this book for $5.98 at Barnes and Noble because it looked interesting and because I had a gift card to blow.

It's a collection of aphorisms and "laws" coined by columnist, commentators, and humorists covering the workplace, and to be honest, covering working for the government in a lot of cases. It's a quick read, and a lot of the axioms and maxims provide crystallizations of core truths in a handy fashion that allow you to quip them. For example, I'm going to use It's easier to defend consistency than correctness as soon as possible.

Also, it was a quick read while I work on the longer fiction books that I'm reading. And to let you, gentle readers, that I am still literate.
