Started Dave Eggers’s new book last night on a soccer sideline. One of the characters begins the book with a new career at Google The Circle.

Book may turn out alright, may not. But it got me thinking of how rare it is to begin a job so happy and with all the tools you need to do it; how rare it is to have a job where your “boss” talks about the importance of humanity; how rare to have any kind of moral clarity that isn’t immediately and obviously compromised by the working conditions.
