Water Cooler Diaries: Women Across America Share Their Day at Work

by Joni B. Cole and B. K. Rakhra

From the introduction: "Watercooler Diaries touches on the important issues that affect our working lives, in the most intimate of ways. How, for example, does an award-winning fashion designer keep her growing business afloat, when she can't even afford rent for a decent studio? What happens when a university librarian has four scheduled meetings, and her child wakes up with a 103.4 degree temperature? ... On Tuesday, March 27, 2007, hundreds of women across America created an on-the-job 'day diary' for this book project, chronicling their activities, thoughts, and feelings throughout this single day" (xi). 

From the back jacket: Whether you're searching for your dream job or have already found it, Water Cooler Diaries will surprise and inspire you --- make you see your own paycheck in a whole new light.
