Okay, so let's be fair: I can't think of a single multi-author collection of short stories I've given more than 3 stars, so the three stars here are just an average rating. Let's also remember that three stars means "I liked it," okay? Okay.
A collection of stories about shit jobs; this is a good idea. The intro by one of the editors was very funny, and it's disappointing he didn't write more about his shit job experiences. So. To the individual stories.

I think all are superb, of course, and that you will be wildly amused by them since they range from sf to horror, humorous to serious, fiction to nonfiction. And permutations of those.

This book was excellent all-around. I highly suggest it. The title tells you everything you need to know about the general topic of each story in this fabulous collection!
Hands down this is the best anthology I have ever read. Every one of these 9 stories was expertly crafted and an engrossing read. All of these authors were new to me and I'm looking forward to reading more of them.
The hooker story was the only one I enjoyed. I think the one with the wind farm was well done, too, just not my type of story. I was not aware that only two of them were true stories. I skipped most of the cubicle farm one (crazy ranting, meh) and the sci-fi one because it was too dense with jargon.
I'll admit, I am one of the authors, but I can say without nepotism, that the other stories in this book are phenomenal. Well worth a look for fans of almost every genre, as this covers all the bases.
