Where The Om Am I? by Sara DiVello
Being a yoga lover and having written a novel that spoofs big business, this memoir seemed to be right up my alley. Sara, a recent college graduate with eyes wide open and big dreams, lands what she believes to be a great opportunity in a financial services company. She puts her nose to the grindstone hoping to make an impression, which is not easy with all that's going on around her.
Enthusiasm for a great job quickly wanes when Sara's co-workers begin to show their true selves. Her boss Vicky can't separate her personal life from her work life. A business trip with Vicky turns into a drunkfest with Sara playing nursemaid to Vicky's monster hangover. A salesman, who Sara has nicknamed, The Meat, freely shares tales of his sexual conquests in the office. No one seems to notice that Sara is left to do the work the rest of them have simply neglected. Let's just say, I can relate.
At the urging of her new husband, Nunally, Sara follows her dream of becoming a yoga instructor. She juggles intensive classroom training while continuing to put up with the office antics. It's a struggle since the other yoga students are as equally obnoxious as those she desperately wants to leave behind in the office.
Where The Om Am I? is funny and I mean laugh out loud funny. The people in the office are real characters. In fact I think I know a few of them! The yoga students are mean and spiteful and I was pulling for Sara to rise above them. If you are looking for a light, funny summer read, I think you will enjoy, Where The Om Am I?
