Her one goal? Land a job at Argos!
She loves Argos. Life is full of deceptive, nonsensical rules, but there’s structure in the annual catalogue. Working there is her dream. She’s the perfect candidate. They have to hire her… right?
A nostalgic celebration of autistic self-discovery reminisces a life archived from the 1996 stripy-sofa edition until the catalogue’s extinction.
