After my best friend from high school and I graduate from college, we had two very different paths. She refused to take any internship that didn't pay as much as her waitressing job in college. So when she was done, she had no experience. She did get offered a job at a preschool (she was a psych major looking to…

I once helped tutor a high school student in his English class. He had to turn in daily journal entries. The grading system was 1-5 with 5 being the best. He'd get random numbers with zero comments. 3 here. 2 there. 5 there. Etc.

Ugh. I hate that. It drives me nuts when people say, "Oh I've been meaning to dabble in writing!"

Seriously! Her delivery was HILARIOUS!

Did you respond that way? I would have said something.

Why do you think this hits the creative industry so much? I can't imagine there is an electrician out there that would rewire your house for free and the go brag about his work to his friends as "payment." Or a doctor delivering your baby for free. Or a plumber installing a toilet for free.

I don't understand this. Merisant could definitely afford to pay someone to do this, especially given their revenue. Then again, all the places I ever worked for free could afford to pay me a meager salary and they didn't.

Plus the premise is stupid. Employers dangle job prospects in front of interns like candy. But if someone is ALREADY working for free, where is the incentive to eventually pay them, especially when you can always site "not enough experience"? (Since employers can control what kind of experience interns get...)

Yep. Can't tell you how many times we needed more help in the nonprofit world and the response was, "Hire more interns." We could justify it because we were a charity, but I still thought it was a lot of bull.

Yep. That's pretty much what my ex wanted to do. I wasn't pregnant, but I thought I was. We went from being engaged/not caring if I got pregnant to...holy crap I can't do this and I'm outta here. He got super mad at me for considering not having it. "You're just doing that because it's an inconvenience to you!" …

"Because they think no one's paying attention, and the ones that are won't remember when it counts."

Plus is man brain also didn't take into consideration all the ladies who actually agree with him.

Yeah she really needs to get rid of them. I get that they're trendy but I'm not feeling it.

Really? In all the pics I've seen of her, if I didn't know she was pregnant, I'd never guess it. She doesn't look it at all to me.

GAH! That's the second time I've missed sarcasm on here.

Again. That's what happens when you have all-male decision-makers. Just like the Swiffer ad.

I remember FEELING this way. But this was in the days before the internet. Who knows what I would have done.

I hate that phrase. Crazy is so vague. It can mean anything from "She burned my house down" to "she got mad at me when I stood her up" to "after dating her for several months, I completely disappeared on her so she called my friends to track me down because I owe her money, AKA STALKER."

Oh my god. After my ex and I broke up, a "Molly" (his friend) was all over my FB — liking everything, commenting on everything, commenting on my friends photos of me, etc. The thing about this "Molly" is that my ex used to hook up with her before we got together, but he stopped when we got together. So I pretty…

This is how I feel about celebs traveling to developing countries. Ugh.
