Review: Not my type of "hero"

I got this book when it was free yesterday and started reading it last night.  I stopped at the point where our hero is applying for a "Girl Friday" job (yes, that's even how it's listed in the classifieds!) and he asks the receptionist if the applicant needs to have a vagina for the job.  That was it for me - I found our hero to be an annoying, immature individual who, because he could cook, thought he was qualified to be a chef (despite lacking any formal training) and, at 6'3" also couldn't be a waiter (too tall? too short?  huh?)  He couldn't even retain his job selling salads and toppings (and apparently the toppings didn't meet his high culinary standards anyway).  He applies for the "Girl Friday" job despite lacking any qualifications in that area as well and quickly judges people on superficial mannerisms (such as an individual doesn't come out to see him from another office, then that individual must be lazy).  Sorry - I prefer mature-acting characters who are qualified for jobs they're hired to do.
