About this listen

What happens to the regular people during an alien invasion? What about after humanity gets it's butt kicked?

If you, like me, aren't a super soldier, trained assassin, billionaire playboy philanthropist, god or hulk, then you start working for your new alien overlords. And no, you don't get some cool "fly a spaceship around" job- you get to be a farmer! This fast paced, funny, book is an account of the time that I lost my office job- the one with the super chill boss, and went into farming with my new boss: a blood thirsty 8ft tall space lizard that was only interested in getting his next big promotion. Listen and witness how I use the only things I'm good at: 90s pop culture trivia and MS Excel to go from humble farmer to slightly more efficient farmer, to member of the secret society that runs all of EARTH!

Witness my ego growing so large that I fail to see the anonyms hackers I hired off the internet using Dogecoin might not actually have my best intrest at heart! You already know, having survived the invasion that humanity wins, but you DON'T know what happened behind the scenes. You don't know how THAT sausage was made! So here it is! You'll laugh at the absurdity of my life (hey!), you'll cry at the similarities of human and alien corporate culture, you'll join me in solemnly saluting my coworker's tragic loss of frequent eater points at his favorite sub sandwich shop, you'll remember the 90s, and most of all you won't be bored for a few hours!
