Smart, Sassy, Snide Look at Corporate Life and Running a Small Business: Talking to My Cats: A Small Business Journal
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) June 10, 2007 -- Bruce Pilgrim's new collection of essays and rants about freelance writing and the follies of corporate life has just been released through lulu.com, a provider of print-on-demand books. Pilgrim infuses Talking to My Cats with "more or less true" anecdotes from his "long and extinguished" career, such as:
•Fallout from the firing of a guy on "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day,"
•Detailed instructions on how to be a corporate suck-up,
•Pretending to be interested at the screen door painting factory,
•Buzzword bingo: "Smartsizing Our Systemic Traceability," as well as
•Bicentennial fire plugs; Geeks, Dweebs, Nerds, and Pukes; and more.
Early reviews include comments such as:
"Pilgrim strikes just the right chord with his deft and clever treatment of the trials, tribulations, risks, rewards, prizes and pitfalls of everyday small business existence," and "An absolute must-read for those in business who have, or desperately need to locate, their sense of humor."
The book is available for $20.00 via: http://www.lulu.com/content/690688
