Quotation of October

"And let me tell you a little about my life right now - prepare yourself, it's not glamourous: I'm a salesman. I work at a medium-sized software company called ImmuDyne. I'm no genius - I'm just a guy in a suit who drives a medium-sized car and spends too much time in the airport lounges with a suitcase filled with brochures, disks, toothpaste for smokers and airplane peanuts roasted in honey that I eat in overly air-conditioned hotel-rooms while watching TV in the evenings. I feel like the punchline of a joke I could have told you ten years ago. But you know how it is - life gets to you. "

Another quotation from Douglas Couplands brilliant and depressing novel Life after God. For more excerpts from this and other works by Coupland, check out my earlier quotations!
