Today we are celebrating the publication of Catherine McKenzie's latest novel, Please Join Us. Melissa read this earlier in the year and really liked the premise. Check out her review. Thanks to Atria, we have THREE copies to give away!
At thirty-nine, Nicole Mueller’s life is on the rocks. Her once brilliant law career is falling apart. She and her husband, Dan, are soon to be forced out of the apartment they love. After a warning from her firm’s senior partners, she receives an invitation from an exclusive women’s networking group, Panthera Leo. Membership is anonymous, but every member is a successful professional. It sounds like the perfect solution to help Nicole revive her career. So, despite Dan’s concerns that the group might be a cult, Nicole signs up for their retreat in Colorado.Once there, she meets the other women who will make up her Pride. A CEO, an actress, a finance whiz, a congresswoman: Nicole can’t believe her luck. The founders of Panthera Leo are equally as impressive. They explain the group’s core philosophy: they’re a girl’s club in a boy’s club world.
Nicole is all in. And when she gets home, she soon sees dividends. Her new network quickly provides her with clients that help her relaunch her career, and a great new apartment too. The favors she has to provide in return seem benign. But then she’s called to the congresswoman’s apartment late at night where she’s pressed into helping her cover up a crime. And suddenly, Dan’s concerns that something more sinister is at play seem all too relevant. Can Nicole extricate herself from the group before it’s too late? Or will joining Panthera Leo be the biggest mistake of her life? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

The worst job I had was in high school being a cashier at the public pool. It also involves picking up trash and cleaning the pool every morning.
Thank you for the opportunity!
When I was a teenager, I worked at a chicken farm.
Working as a telemarketer for a car insurance company when I was in college!
When I was in high school, stocking shelves at a local department store.
A waitress at a diner when I was in college. Thanks for the giveaway chance.
I never really had bad jobs. I did work for an "elite" women's magazine and the people working there were real snobs. I didn't last in that job very long. They let me go because I wasn't elite enough.
The worst job I ever had was as an assistant to the VP of a printing company. He was not a nice man.
I would say that so far I am quite content with my jobs that I have worked since graduating from university; at some point, I was exhausted by some jobs though.
Cleaning windows was no fun.
The worst job I had was working in a store, they rarely let us take our breaks and wouldn't let us go to the bathroom.
Being a clerical slave in an office for a monster.
Being a waitress at a pizza place. They had way too many menu options other than pizza and it was always a nightmare
