Hack $9.99 “I had always thought about driving a cab, just thought it’d be interesting and different, a good way to make money. But it always seemed like a fleeting whim, a funny idea, something I would never actually do.” In her late twenties and after a series of unsatisfying office jobs, Melissa Plaut decided she was going to stop worrying about what to do with the rest of her life and focus on what she was going to do next. Her first adventure: becoming a taxi driver. Undeterred by the fact that 99 percent of cabbies in the city were men, she went to taxi school, got her hack license, and hit the streets of Manhattan and the outlying boroughs. Hack traces Plaut’s first two years behind the wheel of a yellow cab traveling the 6,400 miles of New York City streets. She shares the highs, the lows, the shortcuts, and professional trade secrets. Between figuring out where and when to take a bathroom break and trying to avoid run-ins with the NYPD, Plaut became an honorary member of a diverse brotherhood that included Harvey, the cross-dressing cabbie; the dispatcher affectionately called “Paul the crazy Romanian”; and Lenny, the garage owner rumored to be the real-life prototype for TV’s Louie De Palma of Taxi. With wicked wit and arresting insight, Melissa Plaut reveals the crazy parade of humanity that passed through her cab–including struggling actors, federal judges, bartenders, strippers, and drug dealers–while showing how this grueling work provided her with empowerment and a greater sense of self. Hack introduces an irresistible new voice that is much like New York itself–vivid, profane, lyrical, and ineffably hip From the Hardcover edition. |

Stjepko Expounded That All Ten New Employees Who Will Work At HAC Toll Station In Vrgorac Got Their Jobs Because They Met All The Requirements.
The Chief Executive Officer of Croatian Motorways Limited Stjepko Boban invited the newshounds to Makarska where he's spending his summer holidays. He said that all 10 new employees who will work at HAC toll station in Vrgorac got their roles because they met all of the needs. 3 of them are war vets and three are the wives of disabled folks, victims of war.Vrgorac is a town in Croatia in the Split-Dalmatia County.
One of the best Croatian poets of all times,Tin Ujevic was born in Vrgorac, a little town in the Dalmatian hinterland, and got raised in what were then the provincial cities of Imotski and Makarska. He completed classical gymnasium in Split. Ujevic spent his turbulent Lehrjahre in the Zagreb bohemian milieu, in the circle of the central figure of Croatian early modernism, the revered and slandered doyen of fin-de-sicle aestheticism, Antun Gustav Mato. Quickly embroiled in the actions of Yugoslav nationalism , Ujevic left politics for good, spending the rest of his life as a definitive bohemian wayfarer, residing and blasphemously rioting in Sarajevo, Mostar, Belgrade, Split and, eventually, Zagreb.
Ujevic distinguished himself in three fields : as a translator, essayist and feuilltonist and poet. He interpreted countless works of poetry, novels and short stories into Croatian.He wrote more than 10 books of essays, poetry in poetry and meditations but his enduring strength lies customarily in his gigantic poetic opus.
Having absorbed virtually all the Western poetic convention (from Dante and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to Charles Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Whitman and Ezra Pound) and all the Croatian greats,including (Marko Marulic and Ivan Gundulic), Ujevic made a Protean poetic oeuvre of inimitable flavor and inevitable grandeur. His chief theme can be named as everything under the sun and beyond.
From pantheist mysticism to humble Christian spirituality, from party of corporeality and ecstatic unity of human, non-human and the divine to meditative repose, from the ironic verse making burlesque of modern technology-driven civilization to the tender verbal music hallowing ancient Dalmatian hamlets, from the potent expression of erotic craving to the resignation to the destiny of human condition Ujevic's poetry is a polymorphous vision of life, blend of often antagonistic traditions starting from the Mediterranean ideal of harmonious beauty and modern existentialist sensibility voiced in the verses of unrivaled virtuosity and profundity.We wanted to introduce you with Vrgorac,so let is back at main topic...
-It is not right that we caused any harm to the war vets when we chose ten assistants to work at the tall station Vrgorac. HAC (Croatian Motorways) took into account all the social circumstances and the rights of war vets also. So I'd like to reject all the reports that have been issued in the media recently- said Boban.
He said that the 5 men and 5 ladies got the roles. 3 of the men are war vets and three of the ladies are wives of the war victims. Their hubbies are disabled and incapable of working. Boban explains that they also took into account the travelling expenses, so 7 people are from Vrgorac itself and three of them live nearby.
Boban announces that he will give his report about the case to the P. M. Jadranka Kosor, who had already asked for the explanation of the entire situation. The report will be on her desk on Thursday.
However, Boban affirms that the list of new employees is not the same as the list of applicants suggested by the special commission. He was asked if he believed the commission's judgment or not, and he announced that he probably did, but the management has got the right to use their discretion. He also added that the man from Metkovic aged 62 who got the job and his surname is Bebic has nada to do with Luka Bebic, the president of Parliament.
He got the job due to his social status. The head of HAC denied the tale about a girl who got the job without even sending her application.
-All of the new workers had applied for the roles and met all of the necessary requirements- Boban added as reported tagza.com.
