An Extremely Subtle Reminder of My Pending E-book, Bored in the Breakroom

An example of signage more obvious than this post.

On my way back from the optometrist this morning I walked up 4th avenue, which was one of the first streets on which I remember driving in Pittsburgh. It was some years ago after a job interview. 4th avenue starts (or ends) at PPG Place, a curious agglomeration of crystalline spires and shimmering glass. There was a subtle but marked hill as I turned onto 4th, and my Philadelphia-conditioned sense of urban outlay was charlie horsed: a hill, in the middle of a city? Get lost. But it really was there. As I walked through the gauntlet of obsidian windows today their warped surfaces reflected my unreliable memory.

Oh hey! Speaking of all that stuff, I mention PPG Place and 4th avenue in my e-book, Bored in the Breakroom. The content has been finalized and after a few more chess moves and a coordinated cough of server space it will be available soon. Matt didn’t shred it up too much, which either makes me think his standards are too low or that I may have hit the target somewhere on my first pass. He has more hair than I do, so who can really say?

If you are the reviewing type and are self-hating enough to read a collection of super short stories, contact me if interested. To translate that into normal author-blogger dialect: “GREAT NEWS! If’n you wanna read n’ review an ARC of my razzle dazzle N E W E – B O O K, send me a friendly email! K?”
