Ocean State Job Lot

Ocean State Job Lot, headquartered in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, is an American chain of 118 discount stores operating in New England, New York and New Jersey. The chain takes its name from Rhode Island's nickname, "The Ocean State".

The chain primarily acquires common brand-name goods whose manufacturer is willing to sell them at a loss following overstocking or discontinuation, operating closeout stores similar to Building 19, Big Lots, and Christmas Tree Shops. Ocean State Job Lot also has many new items (not closeout or overstocked products) that they use to fill their shelves, that they restock on a regular basis.

Ocean State Job Lot often leases buildings where previous supermarkets or discount stores used to be located. They also use the previous store's fixtures (checkout counters, checkout lane number lights, etc.) wherever possible to cut costs. After the Ames department store chain went bankrupt and closed down in 2002, Ocean State Job Lot moved into many former Ames locations in New England.

The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs

The Job: Interviews with William S. Burroughs is a book by Daniel Odier built around an extensive series of interviews with Beat Generation author William S. Burroughs conducted in the late 1960s. Originally published in France in 1969, it was later reissued in several different English-language editions. Odier and Burroughs share authorship of the book, but it is common to see Burroughs given sole front cover author credit.

As Burroughs explains in a foreword, what began as a series of impromptu interviews covering topics ranging from Scientology to Burroughs' longtime drug addiction led to a work that contains flashbacks and cinematic-style "fade outs". Some of Burroughs' replies to Odier's questions are presented in near novella-length form (such as the chapter "Academy 23").

Later editions of the book added a prologue by Burroughs entitled "Playback from Watergate to the Garden of Eden" that reflected on topics of discussion that emerged after the Odier interviews. The prologue first appeared in The Electronic Revolution - the entirety of which is included in some editions of The Job. (Note: the 1989 Penguin Books reprint edition, which as of 2012 is the most widely available edition of the work, does not include The Electronic Revolution.)
