Freaks I’ve Met

ByDonald Jans

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Spokane, Washington, is nearly perfect for most people, but Jack Fitzpatrick is not one of them. At twenty-two, he’s already too bitter to stay. Hours after graduation and armed with his final paycheck from his nemesis, Mrs. Pohlkiss, Jack heads for Southern California to prove that money does buy happiness. Thanks to a lucky run-in with a talent agent a few weeks earlier, Jack has loftier (and more lucrative) dreams than minimum wage in the basement of Nordstrom’s. But once there, he learns that lofty dreams are a dime a dozen in the City of Angels. Broke, barely scraping by, and hating his life as a temp, L.A. is definitely not what Jack expected. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to bend over and give up—not yet. After reading “Best Paying Jobs of 1987” in Time magazine, he decides to go after the only one he thinks he has a shot at: institutional bond broker. That's where the trouble begins. Funny scathing and over the top, it must be totally true.
