Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days by Tim F. LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

Today is E’s last day at his job! It is the most exciting thing that has happened since I’ve known him, because when I met him almost eight years ago, he was already working there.

I’m especially ecstatic about his leaving because the company he works for is the most dysfunctional, chaotic, poorly-managed organization I have ever heard of. If you asked me to devise a fictional company whose only goal is to torture its employees, I couldn’t even have come up with some of the scenarios that truly occur there.

So what’s up with today’s book? I chose Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days by Tim F. LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins as an analogy to E’s departure. E joked that it his own personal rapture, when, on a certain day, he leaves this world of toil and strife, ascends to a much, much better place, and sadly watches the rest of his old world’s citizens struggle onward in a hellish place. Those poor souls left behind.

An apt comparison, for sure.
