Ein göttlicher Job<br />
A GODDAMN JOB<br />
48<br />
New Year’s Eve 2000. Jonathan’s exhausting 1000-year term as a demi-god is finally over. The blissful<br />
paradise of the gods awaits! Actually, things aren’t quite so cool; in fact Jonathan is scared shitless because<br />
in a couple of hours he’s got to report to Divine Central where his boss, the Over-Goddess<br />
Yolanda, will grill him on his final report. Then he’ll be screwed, because she’ll quickly realize what a<br />
mess this lazy, always-wasted demi-god has left behind. Even worse, Jonathan completely spaced out<br />
finding himself a replacement, which could mean his having to endure 10 more centuries of this lowly,<br />
partial-god crap. He winds up choosing Niklas, of all people, whose only relationship to eternity is with<br />
the undying love he’s recently been hung up with. Facing the ultimate drag of yet another thousand<br />
wasted years, Jonathan gathers all of his remaining wits to execute his plan. It’s going down on New<br />
Year’s Eve, a night that Niklas will remember for a very, very long time.<br />
A Goddamn Job takes nobody seriously and leaves nothing sacred. God trips around in threadbare<br />
jogging pants, a guardian angel with blazing blue hair is charged with keeping “true love” true, and a<br />
clueless comic artist named Niklas finds out that there’s more than one way to get to heaven.<br />
