Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Download or read book The Cool Gent written by Herb Kent and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Herb Kent was a straight-A college student in the 1940s, his white professor told him, “You have the best voice in class, but you'll never make it in radio because you're a Negro.” This did not deter the poor kid from the Chicago housing projects who had decided on a radio career at age five. It was just one more obstacle to face head on and overcome. Known as the Cool Gent, the King of the Dusties, and the Mayor of Bronzeville, Herb Kent is one of radio's most illustrious and legendary stars. This fascinating autobiography details both the high and low points of Herb's life while providing a vivid picture of black music, culture, and personalities from the 1950s to today. Herb had a typical rock-and-roll lifestyle—drugs, alcohol, all-night partying, and women—eventually hitting rock bottom, where he finally faced his personal demons. At least nine times Herb came close to death, but through it all, he maintained his debonair, classy persona and his uncanny knack for picking timeless tunes. And he didn't save only himself; along the way, he blazed new trails for all African Americans and remains a role model for today's top deejays.

Download or read book The Quiet Room written by Sian E. Jones and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins in 1921 with the birth of twins to the Demengels, a notable family who inhabit Celyn Lodge in Cornwall. Right from infancy, Lara becomes something of a thorn in the side of the Demengels, threatening to tear at the fabric of the family and bring shame upon their good name. From the age of eight, Lara is exiled to an annexe of the main house as her behaviour becomes increasingly oppositional and beyond the scope of her parents' control. The only tangible relationship she has is with Nancy, the family's cook and long term employee. It is under the auspice of Nancy's care within the grounds of Celyn that Lara spends the next few years, growing increasingly feral and wholly estranged from the rest of her family. Her twin Milla is simultaneously living a genteel life and being groomed for an advantageous marriage like her older sister, Emmeline. Lara's very presence threatens the reputation and social standing the family enjoy. In 1937, Lara's fortunes are set on a tragic trajectory in 24 hours that will forever change her life and have a ripple effect that will touch the lives of many. She is taken to Wellswood, an asylum for the mentally defective, a cruel and hostile environment where she will encounter gratuitous and conscious cruelty but will also find friendship and love she has not known before. 1975. Shelley Merrigan comes to Cornwall to start her nurse training. Nursing a broken heart, she leaves the warmth of her family and homeland in Wicklow, Ireland to start what she hopes will be a career where she can help and enhance lives. She begins her first placement on Cypress ward. Lara is the first patient she meets and she leaves an indelible impression. She is intrigued by the silent Lara Demengel, an enigma that piques her curiosity. As she digs deeper into her history she is unprepared for the collision course they are both on to an event that will bind them both forever. Shelley finds herself in an alien environment where callousness rather than care is the order of the day. Stymied by fear, she finds herself immobilised and unable to stand against the regime of tyranny on Cypress ward. Until she aligns herself with Doctor Vix Winstanley, she neither condones nor condemns the actions of senior staff. The Quiet Room was ubiquitous in all of the old asylums. A sanctuary within a sanctuary; a place of low stimulation to escape the melee of the larger dayroom. They were underutilised except for study and meetings. It is in the pursuit of studying Lara's case notes that her story unfolds and the dehumanised Lara's history shapes all of their lives.

Two doctors, veterans of the ER battlefield and caught in the federal financial mess, decide to pull up stakes and go to a place they can make a difference and some money. On the other side of the country, a small town in northeastern Nevada has everything, a good tax base, a working community, friendly people, and the best Italian food west of New York City. If this town is such a great place to live, why can't the residents find a doctor to take care of their medical needs? Drs. Abraham Bergman and Malcom York, partners in the practice of medicine, travel to Nevada to listen to a proposition pitched by a three-fingered mayor and a beautiful woman.

In the meantime, times are changing, and a politician is running for higher office on a platform of morality.

But what is the moral fiber of the politician, and to what lengths would he go to close the Sweet Box and why? Add in an ex-Army helicopter pilot who also happens to be a flight nurse, his voluptuous pilot/nurse partner, a mysterious brilliant surgeon, and the very available ladies of the bordello and you have the story of the Sweet Box and the small town of Shangri-La in northeast Nevada.

Download or read book Now This is a Very True Story written by Jimmy Jones and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimmy Jones is the guv'nor of comedy. He was the first adult comedian to break big in the UK. His uncompromising act made him a hero to hundreds of thousands of blue collar Londoners. He became known for his catchphrase 'kin 'ell!' and established himself as an underground legend -- in the process attracting everyone from rock's royalty to real Royalty. The Rolling Stones, the Nice, the Small Faces, Iron Maiden and Status Quo were among the many stars who flocked to his gigs. The Beatles played his tapes on their tour bus. His fans included fellow comedians Dudley Moore and Chubby Brown and soap star Martine McCutcheon. In a long and successful career Jones has told jokes to Michael Jackson, entertained the Kray Twins and performed for a surprising number of Royal Family members -- Prince Charles, Prince Philip and Princess Margaret. TV bosses hated him but Jimmy's outrageous comedy made him a millionaire by his 40s. Not bad for a kid from the rough end of Essex who grew up thinking he'd become a priest.

Download or read book Little Reef and Other Stories written by Michael Carroll and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little Reef and Other Stories announces the arrival of an original voice in literature. From Key West to Maine, Michael Carroll’s debut collection of stories depicts the lives of characters who are no longer provincial but are not yet cosmopolitan. These women and their gay male friends are “B-listers” of a new, ironic, media-soaked culture. They live in a rich but increasingly divided America, a weirdly paradoxical country increasingly accepting of gay marriage but still marked by prejudice, religious strictures, and swaths of poverty and hopelessness. Carroll shows us people stunned by the shock of the now, who have forgotten their pasts and can’t envision a future.
