Book excerpt: Derek Blasberg is back with more brilliant commentary on what makes a lady truly classy. With all the razor-sharp insights of Classy plus new, never-before-seen pages packed with Derek's signature wit and timeless tips, VeryClassy is the best - and the only - resource for the up-to-the minute, modern young woman. Today's fast-maturing youth culture is confounded by a whole slew of classy conundrums. Like, "Is a funeral an acceptable place to meet a guy?" (No, the point of a funeral is to ponder how someone has touched your life, not how you hope someone is going to touch you later that night). And, "Should I wear my Wonderbra to the gym?" (No! Gyms are for exercise, not cleavage.) Even if you're so confident, you've been attracting guys like a honey-dipped man magnet for years - VeryClassy still has something for you. This illustrated volume is packed with advice for the girl who doesn't want to be a Relationship Chameleon, the girl who understands that skinny fat is worse than just plain fat, and the girl who needs a little help discovering the silver lining of a hangover. Very Classy is the ultimate guide for discerning this generationÕs ladies from the tramps.

Book excerpt: A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt. There’s a saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions for complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams—and, ultimately, between the success and failure of companies. Will Larson’s An Elegant Puzzle focuses on the particular challenges of engineering management—from sizing teams to handling technical debt to performing succession planning—and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management for leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.

Download or read book Classy AF written by Mary B Moore and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raoul I have an issue that comes in a tidy, neat, little package - my neighbor. She's driven me out of my mind every day since she moved in a year ago. To make matters even worse, she's my friend's sister, Rose Beauregard. To add salt to the wound, she's a nurse and the sister of a tattoo artist, and I have a huge phobia of needles. I think it would be ok if she'd just stop giving me her special smile every morning, stop being cute, stop giving me that sass which drives me out of my mind. I'm totally lying - she could wear a paper bag over her head and I'd still want her. The problem is, when I say opposites, I mean opposites in everything - including the fact that I'm me, the most normal guy out and she's classy AF. I'm not sure that'll stop me, though. Rose Grumpy Raoul Evans, how I do love to mess with him. Smiling and waving at that glare he gives me every morning, the flowers I plant in front of his house, the packages of needles that accidentally fall out of the pocket of my scrubs onto the floor in front of him. It's all just so much fun. It used to hurt me when he glared at me, but then I decided to enjoy it and just seize the day, so I do that everyday. I'm sure at some point I'll push him too far, but today is not that day. Maybe tomorrow? He says I'm classy, I say he's grumpy, and the rest of the world says opposites attract. I know that I'm attracted to him, but until he starts feeling the same way toward me - or I make his head explode - I'm just going to enjoy pushing his buttons.
