USPS Shipping Blunder

I’ve been waiting for a new book that a friend strongly recommended to me for the last week or so. But, my effort at using the Free Super Saver Shipping on Amazon.com didn’t work out in my favor. Go USPS.

The book is called “A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix” and Tim told me that he’s recommending it to almost everyone he meets these days. When I told him I was about to start reading it (assuming it was showing up that day) he told me to “hang onto my hat.” I don’t wear hats that often anymore but maybe I will when I read this book.

    That may be one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Clearly I need to get out more.

    I don’t know what made me put this book on my reading list (a library pick which arrived with less hassle than your USPS route but alas, can’t underline!) but I am loving it. It’s provided both insight into the current political landscape as well as been personally challenging. I’m not in any leadership position per se but find that I tend to be able to transfer leadership principles to my own life circumstances. Anyways . . . great read so far, thanks for sharing! I don’t always leave comments but I always enjoy reading here.
