Hey, Lady! Hey, Waitress! Hey, Miss! by Jeanne Webb Pdf
Author Jeanne Webb served as a flight attendant for one of the largest airlines in the United States for over three decades, from the 1950s through the 1980s. During that time, she encountered all kinds of personalities in her work, both on and off the airplane. In Hey, Lady! Hey, Waitress! Hey, Miss!, she shares some of her most memorable stories from that time period. The life of a flight attendant was unique during Webbs career, and she recorded many of her stories in diaries and journals. Now she recalls strange conversations and events, as well as humorous, rewarding, and sometimes aggravating interactions with a wide range of passengers. Featuring celebrity encounters, bizarre requests, medical emergencies, and poignant recollections, these stories illustrate the unusual situations faced by flight attendants on a daily basis. In this personal narrative, one woman paints an intriguing picture of the exciting and occasionally crazy experiences of flight attendants in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Food, Feminism, and Women’s Art in 1970s Southern California by Emily Elizabeth Goodman Pdf
This book explores how feminist artists continued to engage with kitchen culture and food practices in their work as women’s art moved from the margins to the mainstream. In particular, this book examines the use of food in the art practices of six women artists and collectives working in Southern California—a hotbed of feminist art in the 1970s—in conjunction with the Women’s Art Movement and broader feminist groups during the era of the Second Wave. Focused around particular articulations of food in culture, this book considers how feminist artists engage with issues of gender, labor, class, consumption, (re)production, domesticity, and sexuality in order to advocate for equality and social change. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, food studies, and gender and women’s studies.
Cattle stealing Daniel Kroff did not like especially on the ranch where he worked "He ain't that fast...is he?" Dave asked. "Pretty fast." Scooter warned. "I wouldn't try if I were you, Dave." Was Daniel's response. Skeeter sweated, his cheeks twitched, his lips tight. He was nervous. Scooter being unsettled exposed shock. I stared at them sternly. (The brothers had seen that before) My eyes steadfast, my blood flowed fast through my body. Calmly waiting for their first move. It happened, Dave went for his gun. My pistol cleard leather and fired instantly...

“Incisive wit . . . a sleuth worthy of comparison to Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot or Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone.”—James W. Hall Diana O’Hehir beguiled audiences with I Wish This War Were Over, runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize. Now, she presents a mystery set in that most shadowy of landscapes: the human mind. Green Beach Manor, set on the jagged cliffs of the California coast, calls itself “A Colony for Independently Functioning Adults.” It costs a pretty penny—and Carla Day is confident that her affectionate-but-confused elderly father is getting the best care there. An accomplished former Egyptologist, he now lives in a fusion of past and present. The staff hasn’t a clue what he’s ranting about—and they’re ready to send him to what they privately call No Hope House. Then a string of suspicious events unravels. A fire starts inexplicably in the beauty parlor, and some drugs go missing. Carla, hoping to keep a close eye on her dad, lands a job as an aide at the Manor. But management has one condition: Spy for us, figure out who’s doing this—and you and your father can stay. Soon, a guest swallows glass hidden in her food. An employee dies an eerie death. And Carla’s father begins rambling not only about Egyptian pyramids, but also about a dead woman on the nearby beach. The answer may lie in an ancient Egyptian tomb. Or maybe it’s somewhere further—in the deep recesses of a brilliant old man’s memory. “One of the most intellectually delightful murder mysteries ever written . . . The narrating voice is a pleasure from beginning to end, and the reader comes away with an education in ancient Egyptology!”—Vivian Gornick, author of Fierce Attachments
"Midcentury America was on the move when powerful autos sped along the new interstate highways while suburbs sprouted, and a baby-booming middle class enjoyed TV favorites, passenger jet travel, atomic engineering, and cocktails toasting all things modern"--
At a Tex-Mex restaurant in a Minneapolis suburb, customers send Christmas and Hanukkah cards to the restaurant, bring in home-baked treats for the staff, and attend the annual employee party. One customer even posts in the entryway a sign commemorating the life of his dog. Diners and servers alike use the Hungry Cowboy as a place to gather, celebrate, relax, and even mourn. Moments such as these fascinate Karla A. Erickson, who worked for the restaurant, and they make up her new book The Hungry Cowboy. Weaving together narratives from servers, customers, and managers, Erickson explores a type of service work that is deeply embedded in personal relationships and community. Feelings, play, and emotions are inseparable from the market transactions within the restaurant. Based on extensive interviews and two years of working as a waitress, Erickson provides insights into the ways that people make contact in our society and how they build on the fleeting connections in the service exchange to form more intimate relationships. Written for readers, scholars, and students interested in American culture, consumerism, and community, The Hungry Cowboy offers a case study in how consumers and producers in the marketplace perform, and how dignity, meaning, and community can all be built at work.
Anton Chekhov’s only collection of crime and mystery stories. Considered one of the greatest dramatists of all time, Anton Chekhov began his literary career as a crime and mystery writer. Scattered throughout periodicals and literary journals from 1880-1890, these early psychological suspense stories provide a fresh look into Chekhov’s literary heritage and his formative years as a writer. In stories like "A Night in the Cemetery," "Night of Horror," and "Murder," not only will Chekhov’s dark humor and twisted crimes satisfy even the most hardboiled of mystery fans, readers will again appreciate the penetrating, absurdist insight into the human condition that only Chekhov can bring. Whether it is the death of a young amateur playwright at the hands of an editor who hates bad writing, or a drunken civil servant who ends up trapped in a graveyard, these stories overflow with the unforgettable characters and unique sensibility that continue to make Chekhov one of the most fascinating figures in literature.
