Sick Office Syndrome is the curse of the nineties. If your job has survived this long into the recession, then you’re probably stuck with it for life. And long-term office employment, with its mind-numbing routine, interminable paperwork (technological revolution, what technological revolution?) and Pot Noodle lunches can have a terrible effect on your sanity. One minute you’re running "Windows", the next minute you feel like jumping out of one.

          The symptoms of SOS are not always easy to spot – hence this easy-to-follow guide. Inside you will find some of its more common manifestations. No doubt you will swiftly realize that you already work alongside such sufferers as the Office Clown, the Surly Yoof, and the Middle Management Sadist.

          Perhaps you, too, are showing recognizable signs of corporate lunacy. Do not delay. Buy this book before SOS turns you into someone you’d rather not share a workstation with. SOS – you don’t have to be mad to work in an office.
