The Gawker Book: Join Our Crusade To Return Words To The Printed Page
Our Gawker Media Worldwide Blogging Concern bosses are making a bold push into the world of "books," which our company historian assures us was a content-delivery system once enjoyed by old-timey intellectual-types on their fifteen minute breaks from the butter churn. (We're still skeptical. He once tried to convince us that early blogs were rendered in cuneiform on clay tablets, and that their editors were paid handsomely in livestock.) In any case, this Gawker Book, as we'll refer to it, requires the contributions of you, the endlessly bored reader who loves to type stories about their amusing/enlightening/maddening work experiences into welcoming web forms for no monetary compensation whatsoever. Intrigued yet? Of course you are. The details of how to participate in this project that will undoubtedly revive the long-dormant "book" form are after the jump:
We want your witty personal anecdotes concerning the topics below. If we include any part of your submission, you'll get a credit and a copy of the book when published. Our specific areas of interest:

- How is your office like a dysfunctional family?
- Sweet revenge — do you have a vengeful spirit? Have you gotten away with it? Who, what, where and why?
- How do you pull rank on others when they need a reality check?
- What's the biggest secret scandal in your office?
- How do you hide your drug-taking/drinking/sleeping at work?
- What's the most pretentious item in your boss' office?
