I bought a new ebook called Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office by Lois P. Frankel. When researching a book I usually first go to Amazon.com and read the worst reviews first. This one had 4 bad reviews out of 127, so that’s a good sign. The description of the book is below:
If you work nonstop without a break…worry about offending others and back down too easily…explain too much when asked for information…or “poll” your friends and colleagues before making a decision, chances are you have been bypassed for promotions and ignored when you expressed your ideas. Although you may not be aware of it, girlish behaviors such as these are sabotaging your career.
Say what?!! Omg is she talking about me? Literally, every word is true (except the poll thing, and that’s mostly because I don’t have time). Of course I’m immediately intruiged and beating myself up at the same time within about 3 seconds (even though she specifically says not to beat yourself up if you’ve been doing these things). I promptly bought it via B&N and downloaded to my Nook. It’s very rare that I actually purchase an ebook, so congratulations Lois P. Frankel!
I’ll let you know my thoughts and how they relate to my entry-level management job. I have a feeling it’s going to be GOOD.
In the meantime, here are some pics. I saw this and thought, wow, isn’t that the most comforting thing ever?! (to me at least). The beautiful warm extra long (down to my feet) scarf that my mom bought me for Xmas and my Nook just sitting on the bottom shelf of my coffee table.
Also, I wanted to show you I finally found the perfect BLING case for my iPhone. I also bought a silver one too. I’ve already had lots of comments, although I can’t tell if they are like, “um WTF are you 12 years old?” or “wow cool, for reals”.
But you know what? I don’t care either way. Ala Kenny Powers, if people don’t like it they can go fuck themselves. That’s my new motto for 2012
