What do you do for a living? If that question makes you sigh, smile awkwardly, or launch into a ten-minute explanation involving tabs, Slack, side hustles, and coffee, this book is for you. This Counts as a Job, Right? is a witty, honest, and gently sarcastic look at modern work-the kind that doesn't come with cubicles, clear titles, or easy explanations. From awkward job interviews to confusing LinkedIn endorsements, from side hustles that quietly burn us out to video calls we pretend to be present in, this book captures the messy beauty of work that doesn't always look like work. Whether you're a freelancer, remote worker, digital wanderer, or just someone tired of being "available 24/7," you'll find humour, solidarity, and the occasional reminder that your job-yes, the one with unread emails and weird titles-absolutely counts. Read it in one sitting or one chapter at a time. Just don't read it during a Zoom call. Or do. We won't tell.
