Me Talk Pretty One Day.

This week, I continued to read "Me Talk Pretty One Day."  Sedaris writes many hilarious essays that range from being about David's vile younger brother to criticizing the modern way of cooking.  One particularly amusing essay by Sedaris was about Sedaris's personal assistant job.  Sedaris becomes a personal assistant to a cheap foreign lady.  This lady, who is quite well-off, owns a small publishing company that operates at the convenience of her own home.  Sedaris envies her house and her leisurely life while working for her, but he soon becomes irritated with her wild and ridiculous demands.  Sedaris quits his job and becomes an employee of a small moving company.  The communist owner of the moving company treats Sedaris kindly, although he strikes Sedaris as the "cookoo" type.  Sedaris humorously describes how he knows the type of people his employers are based on how they pack their items up.
