Diary Of A Fortnite Noob: And The Crazy Story Of How Fortnite Came Into Real Life
A.J. Diaz - 2018
I’m a Fortnite noob. I admit it. I never actually played. Which I wish I had. Because Fortnite happened to me in real life. After the meteor crashed down on our school nothing was ever the same. One ordinary (yet not so ordinary day AT ALL) I got detention. When I arrived in the detention room our principal took us--my three friends and I--in an airplane and flew us to Death Island. He told us we were a squad and that I was the leader. Our plane got shot down and we landed on the island, in a Battle Royale fight against 800 other students from other high schools. Our crazy principal told us it was up to us to save the island. But mostly I just wanted to stay alive, and keep my friends alive. Which meant we had to be the last team standing. This is the Crazy and Extreme DIARY OF A FORTNITE NOOB -- And How Fortnite Came Into Real Life. Basically. Sort Of. Strap in for the ride of your life. Because you're about to get caught in a storm of action, adventure and fun!

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Bureaucracy But Were Afraid to Ask
T.R. Raghunandan - 2019
Veteran insiders who return to it with their petitions after retirement are as clueless about how it functions as freshly minted supplicants. Outsiders in any case have little knowledge of who is responsible for what and why or how to navigate that critical proposal through the treacherous shoals of the secretariat.At the top of the heap is the fast-tracked elite civil servant, who belongs to a group of generalist and specialized services selected through a competitive examination. The aura of the Indian Administrative Service has remained intact over the years.Lack of awe, bordering on civilized disrespect, is a most effective learning tool. In this humorous, practical book, T.R. Raghunandan aims to deconstruct the structure of the bureaucracy and how it functions, for the understanding of the common person and replaces the anxiety that people feel when they step into a government office with a healthy dollop of irreverence.
