8 Minutes Idle (2012)

In the heart of Matt Thorne's acclaimed novel springs forth "Eight Minutes Idle," a twisted urban comedy that delves into the absurdity of life on standby. Dan Thomas, our reluctant hero, has always opted for the path of least resistance, be it in his professional, personal, or romantic life. A sudden twist of fate, however, finds him ousted from the comfort of his family home, leading him to take clandestine refuge in his workplace - a mundane call center. As his once familiar life begins to unravel, Dan watches helplessly as the things he took for granted - a fully stocked refrigerator, fresh clothes, the company of his friends, his self-respect, and even the loyalty of his cherished cat - begin to vanish or turn against him. As the line between his work and personal life blurs into a chaotic whirlwind, Dan is thrust into a situation he's never faced before. In the face of adversity, he must challenge his old habits and dare to venture into uncharted territory - to genuinely care for someone other than himself. "Eight Minutes Idle" is a vivid journey of self-discovery, where the mundane meets the extraordinary, and life on hold becomes a thrilling roller-coaster ride.
