The Terrible, Horrible Temp-To-Perm Debacle


The description of this adult choose-your-own-adventure book made me laugh out loud:

You, the reader get to be the main character in an exciting tale of blackmail and corporate espionage. You’re an alcoholic temp with a dream of one day being a celebrated novelist. Unfortunately, you drink too much. When you wake up from a blackout, you discover you’ve been framed for murder. Someone wants you to take a permanent job, and he’s ready to blackmail you into doing it. What will you do? Will you turn yourself over to the cops and write a memoir about being wrongly imprisoned? Will you go perm and enjoy the benefits of health care? Or will you escape into the sewers and live with the Mole People? The choice is yours!

It's part of a series, the first book carrying the also-quite-funny title YOU ARE A MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A HERO.
