    About this audiobook

    Are you a wage slave?

    As children we can’t help but dream of all of the amazing things that we will accomplish.

    Then life happens.

    We get a job, we get a house, and we get into debt. We settle.

    We trade away our youth for security in old age. We spend countless hours performing mundane tasks that leave us depleted and empty. Our souls crave meaning, but we are too afraid to make any change.

    We work for the weekend. Work for the holidays. Work for retirement.

    We live to work rather than working to live.

    Through sardonic humour, Wage Slave highlights the absurdity of the modern approach to work and life.

      GOING TO A PARTY with Alzheimer’s

      Jul 2, 2020

      It is a Saturday evening. I am getting ready to go to a party. I am not looking forward to it, though it is hard to explain why. I can see the tremor of my fingers, as I apply my make-up. I worry that my lipstick is smudged, or perhaps on my nose in
