College Enhancer,
By Andre Pinet (Sussex, NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Totally Useless Office Skills (Paperback)
As a college student, I don't do much work anyway, but this book increased my fun about 1 million fold. I can now "amaze" my "friends" with manuvers like the "Credit Card Buzz"! A must have for the serious procrastinator.
2.0 out of 5 stars
mildly entertaining,
By
This review is from: Totally Useless Office Skills (Paperback)
It's mildly entertaining and a little out-dated with the tricks for the office. Save your money.
