It's no wonder that human resources (HR) professionals don't run out of the office every day screaming the chorus of Marvin Gaye's acclaimed hit "Mercy, Mercy Me." Dealing with negative co-workers, management failures, involuntary terminations, conflict resolutions, bad bosses and surprise mergers and acquisitions are among the top 10 issues that are on HR's daily list of things to do. The sheer complexity of these issues have left people believing that HR professionals can't possible have a sense of humor when the list consist of serious matters that would make other professionals runaway and never return to work.Hence Carol McBride's inspiration for HR, Where's Your Freaking Sense of Humor, which is the first in a series of anecdotal creative nonfiction books about HR follies based on her personal experiences over the course of her 20-year HR career. She also draws inspiration from HR mentors, colleagues and friends who were there on the days when she faced HR issues and situations that were complex, mindboggling, heart-wrenching and downright treacherous. When asked how she navigated through the unique but trying situations and challenges, Carol simply states, "With a respectful sense of humor, of course." Each chapter is filled with moments that she believes all HR professionals, despite their tenure, can relate to and draw inspiration from or simply look back (or forward) and know that they are not alone on this tumultuous emotional HR roller coaster. Her mission is to alert HR professionals near and far that it's perfectly acceptable to have a sense of humor, even when dealing with some of the most serious HR dilemmas and drama queens and kings. Also included in each chapter are industry statistics, quotes from subject matter experts, HR best practices, and recommendations on how to navigate through challenging HR situations. As an added bonus, McBride also has includes hilarious cartoon illustrations that depict situations in the chapter to further invoke laughter and capture her humor. McBride presents technical HR topics in a non-technical way and makes this humorous and easy-to-read book more like a personal memoir with a happy ending. A comprehensive list of HR acronyms, lingo and resources round out HR, Where's Your Freaking Sense of Humor to make it the conversation starter for future HR meetings, seminars and roundtable discussions. McBride's goal and hopes for readers is that they will laugh, when the situation may make them feel like crying or giving up and throwing in the HR white towel. She wants to encourage HR generalists, specialists, business partners, analysts, directors and vice presidents to stay in the ring but remember to return to their respective corners (better known as HR colleagues, chapters, associations, or self-help groups) for words of encouragement. You see, HR professionals are among the best cut men and women in the business, and they will have plenty of Vaseline and Band-Aids to mend those proverbial cuts to the heart and confidence. Once the wounded are on the mend, compassionate HR professionals will advise their colleagues to get back in the ring and keep fighting for their internal customers (i.e. employees) that depend on them to fight all 12 rounds everyday.

The HR chicks have many comical experiences working together. Well, we think so. She has seen it all and has had to deal with many unpleasant experiences. She had gotten to a point in her career where work was just a job. Insert me here. I had experience, but was not prepared for the environment I had walked in to. I was used to a more "normal" environment so to speak. But let's be honest, is normal really any fun anymore? Can you laugh at normal? Write a book about it? No. I had decided early on I wanted to be involved in HR or training of some sort. Why I will never know. Something about the field has always drawn me in. Intrigued me so to speak, but for this job, thank God I minored in Psychology. The HR chicks clicked immediately. A mentor relationship was formed and work became a playground that they both actually enjoyed going to. Well let me rephrase, it became tolerable. She gave me the knowledge and know-how to be successful, and I gave her a new perspective and my wacky view on things to make the environment more enjoyable. Our stories in this book are crazy, yes. Is it our perspective of the situation, yes, but remember we are professionals, because WE are the HR chicks.
