Miss Manners rescues civilazation.   Miss Manners is here to rescue us from ourselves. Always polite, generous with incisive social commentary and a lady among ladies, Judith Martin is one of Dix's heroine's.
(Take me to the top, Dix.)

0517706733.GIF Okay, so maybe Dix hasn't bought this one yet. But she'd like to. Miss Manners is a communicator extraordinaire, so it's bound to be a keeper.

DONTUNDERSTAND.GIF Deborah Tannen has some fascinating insights into cross-gender communication. Although she does plod a bit at times, her talk books are filled with interesting RL examples of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and missed opportunities. You're sure to see yourself somewhere in there, and learn some stuff along the way.

VERBAL SELFDEFNSE.GIF The Verbal Self-Defense books are classics with good reason. They teach how to effectively deal with mean people without becoming one. A must-read for anyone who sometimes has to deal with difficult and unpleasant people. And if you don't, please tell Dix what your secret is so she can sell it.You'll get a cut.

DILBLERTPRINC.GIF Dix's husband, Chip, says this book is changing his life. While Dix may find that comment a bit overstated, Scott Adams once again impales the workplace with his edgy, ever-so-slightly exaggerated (?) but keenly accurate observations of the workplace. Dilbert is one of us. Dix's favorite part is the RL emails from frustrated workers.

dogbert.gif This is another one on Dix's "to buy" list. Dogbert is such a cute little cynic, it's hard not to love him. And managers can be so annoying, it's hard not to ridicule them. Sounds like a good bet.

0836228995.GIF Dix really loved this one, although we can't be sure she wasn't unduly influenced by the thought of wearing her robe and slippers to work. LOL funny, and that's saying a lot.
