Hooves High : And Other Tails from Across the Cube Wall

Combining good humor and good food creates an unbeatable recipe for success—something coauthors and coworkers Paul Mitchell and Nicole White know all about. Complete with clever catchphrases and crowd-pleasing potluck recipes, Hooves High is a hilarious workplace survival guide that will tickle your funny bone, satisfy your stomach, and transform your entire outlook on life.

Part one presents more than fifty funny phrases, from the hallelujah shout of “eight pounds, six ounces” to the secret nonverbal cue (Mondo!) that you can give a close friend to help you escape a sticky situation. Each is then illustrated by a comical true story before wrapping up with an invaluable life lesson.

Part two, on the other hoof, dishes up the often overlooked secret weapon—food! Providing you with the perfect potluck planner, including twenty uniquely themed meals and a ton of tasty recipes that are super easy to make, this section ensures you a place at the proverbial table.

Teaching you how to set free your inner hoof, when to properly praise baby Jesus, and how to behave appropriately in the men’s bathroom, Hooves High will soon make you an expert on enjoying whatever pigpen in which you happen to land.

Since 2006, Paul Mitchell and Nicole White have been teaching fellow "Hoofers" how to build strong relationships through humor and the universal language of food. Both hold several certifications, including Global Project Management, Managing for Performance, Social Styles and Networking, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Train the Trainer. They were also contributing authors to The ITIL Experience.

Mitchell, a chronic organizer always looking for new projects, lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife, Marilyn; their three children; and three dogs. His favorite foods are Tortica de Moron cookies (Cuban sugar cookies) and ketchup (certainly a food group in its own right).

White, an active member in a fraternal organization and avid Twilight fan (Team Edward and Team Jacob, baby!), lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her three children in her self-dubbed "Cougar's Cave." Her favorite foods are macaroni and cheese and Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream.
