Gabino Iglesias
“The soul of this country lives in the gap-toothed smiles of gas station cashiers, the matted fur of small-town dogs, the buzzing of neon signs in small dives where a layer of dust covers every surface, the shattered spirit of drive-through employees in nowhere towns, the weird smells and carpet stains in cheap motels where the windows look out at empty parking lots.”
Gabino Iglesias, The Devil Takes You Home

“Embrace dysfunction" this one helps in the workplace!”
Rick Hein
