The second chapter begins with a “celebration” lunch between Barbara and Jack. During the lunch, Barbara shares a story with Jack about an experience she had with a former manager of theirs named Stan. She told Jack that Stan had been rude with her in the past and described a time when she felt she was sexually harassed by him at the office. Jack was surprised to learn this had happened, but was impressed with the way Barbara handled herself in response to the incident. Barbara sharing this story with Jack showed that she trusted him, and considered him a friend. This story brings to attention one of the problems women may encounter while in the industry and gives an example of how it was handled in this particular instance. The chapter ends with Jack returning home and discussing the pros and cons of being a partner with his wife, Libby. Jack is looking forward to many of the perks, such as private golf club memberships, but is worried that the extra hours and responsibilities may affect his family life.

“Not bad,” replied Gabby, who had thrown her bag up on the counter and was trying to fish out a lighter, “just got off!” Both of her stockings had a run in them and flicks of discarded food stuck to the sides of her tennis shoes. Her dress was black and sparkling. Vernon could tell she worked at another diner the moment she got out of the cab. The waitress flipped over an empty cup and poured out what was leftover of the coffee. Gabby had lite her cigarette, inhaled a drag, took a sip, and exhaled out a thick cloud of smoke in one single breath. “Ended up pulling a double?” The swirls in the smoke seemed to actuate Gaby's words. “Don’t remind me!” replied the waitress, who had removed one of her flats and was rubbing her heel, “I’ve been on and off my feet since 9:30 this morning.” Gabby looked towards the front of the diner at the back of Vernon’s head and then back at the waitress. “Rough night?” “Nope,” replied the waitress, “he’s been coming in here late for the last month or so, keeps to himself.” They both could see that Vernon was moving his hands while he was talking to himself. “We still on for tonight,” asked Gabby. “Maybe,” said the waitress, “as long we can get a table.” The band aids on the back of her heels needed to be replaced with new ones. Gabby

Jacks had been eavesdropping on the two young ladies, and he wished to make them feel better. “Hello,” he smiled warmly as he walked up to Kate and Darby, “Kate, there are still many people stuck inside that overcrowded airplane, and I want you to help me rescue the other trapped people.” He immediately saw a change in Kate’s face. Kate was someone who needed action and constant movement to stay positive, and Mr. Jacks knew this was just the right thing to help her. “Come on, we need to get the others out.” he continued, “Kate, I want you to come with me, and Darby,” Mr. Jacks turned to Darby, “I want you to stay out here with my dog. If we don’t come out in ten minutes, find a mirror and come in after us. So will you two join me?”

Through the use of telegraphic sentences and asyndeton, King establishes Jack’s primary concern about the future and his scrutinization about how the decision to leave the Overlook affects him personally. Jack immediately believes that the shift from the Overlook to Sidewinder will result in him being poorer than ever before, revealing that he not only cares about his well-being, but his financials affecting it. While reviewing what little he would have upon arriving in Sidewinder, he thinks, “Not even a car”(394). King’s use of a telegraphic sentence underlines Jack’s blunt and realistic thinking. The attention on the “car” entails that Jack will no longer have a privilege, downgrading his social class from working poor to underclass. Subsequently,

It was also 7:11 in the morning. The shop would be open soon. He begrudgingly rose and dressed. He made coffee and grabbing a Pop-tart and headed out to work. Current reality weighed on him, he felt dismal and slow. With a grandchild on the horizon it felt entirely unrelatable to him. He left his apartment and walking the seven blocks to work. He did this everyday despite having a car in the garage. He didn’t drive anymore because, his eyes had been giving him trouble. He was diabetic and poorly managed it. He was losing his eye sight because he decidedly chose to poorly manage himself.

On what’s known to be “Day one”, in the book, Jack is out and about shopping for some placemats. He was the “stay at home dad” in the book, ever since he had lost his computer-related job, in which he was exceptionally successful. After learning his boss was cheating on his wife, and also stealing work from the company to sell, he tells a board member, who was in on the deal. He instantly gets fired and marked as an awful employee who was part of the scheme, this being so no one else would hire him.Adding onto that, his attorney, and friend, had told him to leave as quick as he could, but he ignored this. However, his wife, Julia, is Vice President of another computer-related company name Xymos. As Julia becomes to get more involved in her job, Jack realizes her growing away from not only him, but the rest of their family, too. Of course he thought this was an affair, but later on he realizes it was her becoming excessively involved in a project at work.

Norm claims to have some inside information on a new combination laundromat and tanning salon opening in the area (somehow they foresaw the GTL craze). “It’s the ultimate marriage of luxury and convenience”, according to Norm, who had a hot hand for picking winners. The accountant turned somewhat financial advisor doubled his client’s account in the past 6 months with shrewd investments in mutual funds and biotech stocks. Everyone but Woody saw this as a green light to go all in on Norm’s pick. By doing so, the group fell victim to some common investing and behavioral traps like the representative heuristic and bandwagon effect.

Once again, silence filled the car. Both Larry and Martha felt that the silence was both peaceful and awkward at the same time. During the silence, Martha had a lot on her mind. Larry and Martha used to have the time of their lives just talking for hours. But Martha couldn’t remember the last time she and Larry had fun just talking to each other, besides their time at the restaurant a few moments ago. Then again, Larry and Martha had busy lives. Martha was a teacher, and Larry worked as a web designer. All the

It is 7:00 AM in the morning as William Bucklebird walks down sunny Wall Street to arrive at Goldman Sachs for his first day of work.

One day Elgoog (the world’s largest tech company)

Kyle was professional enough not to inquire as to his moods and that was the way Bobby liked it. They arrived at his sprawling estate and Bobby slid out of the car without comment or a backward glance. Using his key card and pressing in the access code of his security system, Bobby entered the house. He dropped his briefcase and messenger bag on the red silk upholstered ottoman by the door and slipped his oxfords off , not by pushing the backs down until he could slip his feet out. He padded quietly across the Italian marble floor to his study. The jacket and tie that had been so stifling were removed and tossed onto the arm of the couch. He poured himself another drink from the wet bar in the corner. Emma had heard the car in the drive and greeted him with a warm

The Renaissance period was defined by the plethora of work that paid homage to antiquity, or the classics. These Renaissance writers, artists, and thinkers recognized the virtues, themes, and ideas of the classics and they were able to harness those virtues, themes, and ideas in order to influence their society. Today, the same thing is exhibited in many contemporary works. There is evidence of the importance of classical ideas in various modern works of today, ranging from but not limited to, art, music, and literature. This paper deals specifically with the way music captures the essence of the classical virtues, themes, and ideas in Homer’s “The Odyssey”.

He begins his day by calling a friend that works at one of the offshore facilities in a subsidiary company that is owned by his father’s global financial conglomerate known as Gullivers’ Financial. They talk for about an hour on the embezzling scheme they have been working on, and the plans for it in the coming year. Ron has been overseeing and underwriting for this subsidiary his friend works at, that finances coffee farmers in Panama, and buys other financing firms. When this subsidiary was purchased by Gullivers’ Financial a year and a half ago, one of the best decisions Ron has made for Gullivers’ Financial, he also bought a mansion of similar size to the one he has back in New York, down in Panama, since he had an excuse to travel there. Which is when he ran into his friend and started this embezzling scheme, where Ron takes the money from the budget of the subsidiary and instead of hedging with it for the bank he has been investing it speculatively in the futures options commodity market for coffee. This has resulted in him paying off his Panama mansion in a month and a half, and accumulating wealth of nearly $500

Home is a safe haven. A place where one should be able to go after a long hard day and unwind with whatever vices they so choose given they are legal. A place where one ought to feel protected and not judged; where your prospective on societal and political issues, political correctness, or even your commentary about mundane things should be voiced without fear of retaliation or consequences from the outside world. However, what happens when conversations and activities done in the privacy of your own home or outside of the workplace leak out? In recent media headlines we have seen just that; private conversations, emails and activities that were not intended for the workplace or mass media to discover being not only scrutinized, but carrying repercussions for those involved. Some have not only lost the respect of colleagues but have lost their careers.
