Steven, in contrast, has followed the philosophy of "quit everything until you find something you don want to quit," and has spent over fifteen years as a contract employee, a demographic that has come to make up 2 percent of the nation's work force. Now for the Disappointing Part is the first collection of essays written for the temp workers of the millennial generation -- those who, by choice or circumstance, delay or abandon plans for long-term careers for the variety (and anxiety) of contract work."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Temporary employees. 650 0 $a Generation Y $x Employment. 650 $a Essays. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t 5:00 a.m. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t Like Barker, like Barton. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t Jump (it's only temporary) 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t So, you're just going to be like this forever? 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t Temporary madness. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t Saved by the unemployment. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t 11:00 a.m. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t Hippie, a punk, and a privileged boy. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t My father's quiz. 700 12 $a Barker, Steven. $t In a room with a radio. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170516010510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0636AE5E39FD11E782D8AD93DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
