       [glow=red,2,300]The No @sshole Rule: Building a Civilized
       Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't[/glow]

       I'm about 3/4 of the way through this book. I was actually
       interested in this long before my current position, but it makes
       sense more than ever to go through it now. It has helped me
       immensely. Not only does it prove I'm not alone, but shows that
       @ssholes exists everywhere. The book not only helps recognizing
       all the different types, but contrasts that even more by what a
       good company and work environment is.
       I get stomach aches, headaches, stress, tension, loss of sleep
       because of @ssholes. This happens rarely working with @ssholes,
       but when it does, you will know it immediately. The book helps
       me understand what I'm going through and how to handle these
       situations. And it recently pointed out something I'm doing...
       where I didn't know it. Indifference. I simply don't care,
       because if I did it would only bring on a whole host of other
       negative situations. I will make lemonade out this lemon
       situation. My main concern today believe it or not is not to
       become an @sshole myself. To take on those nasty
       characteristics.
       I am stuck in my situation for a number of reasons, but I know I
       cannot continue for years on end. Life is too short. I've
       planted seeds, but in the meantime, I will do everything to make
       my life better.
       The book can be dry but as the author says the term @sshole is
       by far the best description. It's universal. When someone says
       @sshole, everybody understands.

       Sounds like an interesting read. I wonder if this book would
       help me and my aversion to Tech Support "Help" when they
       transfer me to the India or wherever Call Center. I lose
       patience within 30 seconds on the phone because they robots and
       don't even listen. Ugh, I'm already getting worked up over just
       thinking about this sh*t.......

       That so far has not been in the book. I'm not sure I'd classify
       that scenario as '@ssholes'. But the book may help you recognize
       how to deal with scenario's.
