Aspiring writer David Moore spent his twenties waiting for the world to recognize and applaud his unique literary talent, but at twenty-nine he's still unpublished, still scraping to pay his bills, still "just another nobody." His girlfriend, Carol, wants them to get a dog, wants them to move out of their apartment, wants them to move into the next phase of their lives. But how can David move forward, when pursuing that future feels like accepting that he's failed? Readers are calling Scott Burr's "funny, sad, and urgent" debut novel "a surprisingly honest account of millennial angst" and a "bildungsroman for our age."      "I'm there with the characters as they move through their fictional lives with that special kind of purpose that only fictional characters get to have, where everything matters and each thing leads necessarily to the next thing and it all adds up to something, to some dramatic and fulfilling and satisfying and appropriate conclusion and it's nothing at all like real life, where things just happen and you do one thing and then you do something else and the next day you do it again or maybe you don't and none of it adds up to anything or goes anywhere, where you wake up the next morning and you're still there and you still have to brush your teeth and trim your toenails and worry about money and pay for car insurance and all the other mundane pedestrian slogging shit you did the day before." - from Bummed Out City

<p>How to Make Your Safety the Key to Construction Profits and Schedule Performance. Although there are bright spots, the prevailing safety condition within the construction industry is bleak because people continue to be injured or killed in the workplace. The attitudes and hidden mindsets that create this condition are: (1). Safety is seen to slow down and even interfere with production; (2). People believe that everything reasonable that can be done is already being done; (3). We are dodging bullets and that can only work for so long; and (4). People behave strangely; don't think ahead; don't always do the right thing. The fact of the matter is you can get to zero-harm if you approach the goal scientifically, systematically, using problem-solving skills, and persisting until you get what you want. This book offers new tools and introduces the behaviors and mindsets you need to solve the most challenging safety related issues within your organization. See what other have to say: " 'Safety Under Construction' is your must-read for this year. They have delivered a practical approach to make safety the focal point of your business [and] They have clearly diffused the myth that safety is in theway of profits and performance" - Dana W. Clarke Sr., CEO of AIA, LLC; Certified TRIZ Specialist; Certified Organizational Engineer ALSO SEE: "I have managed many construction crews and sometimes you face a critical moment where the quality of your field-call affects lives and a successful project outcome. So much is riding on what decision you make in that moment! 'Safety Under Construction' addresses this important but almost never discussed topic of split-second decision-making. Crew supervisors and managers will appreciate this valuable information. 'Safety Under Construction' raises the bar to an entirely new level of expectation for worker safety." - Ophir Orr, Construction Industry Mechanical Engineer, P.E.</p>
