You Are Not Entitled To Be Rude
You Are Not Entitled To Be Rude | Saskia Brits, Nadja Botha
1 post
Where does the fine line of a firm request tumble into the murkiness of being rude? Enticed by the yearning for a quieter life, Gabriella Albero decided to quit her corporate job. She is finding her feet in the self-employed world as a lifestyle and finance blogger. She is also enjoying having autonomy over her work life. As Gabriella begins her new venture, she notices how peoples patience is rapidly wearing thinner due to the pressures of a constantly evolving world. The choice of putting forward a polite request or being rude lies in the chance encounters that Gabriella faces while attending to her daily errands. Does she keep quiet or open her mouth to strangers who have no regard for those in the service industry? While navigating the self-employed world, Gabriella finds loneliness creeping in and sees that she needs to reassess her priorities. Theres also the possibility of sacrificing some of her stubborn self-reliance along the way. What will she find when she opens herself up to new opportunities? We are presented with wise or poor choices in our behaviour all the time. Youre the one who will have the final say in how you behave. The question is: what would your choice be?

You Are Not Entitled To Be Rude | Saskia Brits, Nadja Botha

Oh my word, this is rather funny. It only occurred to me now to search for this book in the database - oddly though, the editor is listed as the author although you can see the name of the actual author on the pic. So I'm translating this.... But I'm having such a hard time with the writing! It's so bad, not sure what she paid the editor for unless she disregarded what they told her.

MommyWantsToReadHerBook There is for example a child that is called a toddler, who eats baby food in a high chair and gurgles, and goes to kindergarten. All these things can't possibly be true. Uuuurgh send survival vibes my way as I try to finish this translation in the next few months. 10mo
Clare-Dragonfly Is it set in the US? I know in Australia “kindy” is a different age than US (though I can‘t recall what age). The book sounds frustrating! Good luck! 10mo
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @Clare-Dragonfly yes it's set in the US, in New York. But the author is South African so just don't even ask 😭 10mo
