The new bar of unattainable body expectations has been set: to fit into these clothes, you have to basically not exist.

Well, it’s a fun idea that they’ve managed to make into an irritating display of a lack of logic, sense, marketing, or just plain common sense.

I should probably pre-empt some stuff.

It’s as political as hiring someone who is publicly racist, sexist, who is an abuser. Because it’s something that is opted in to. Here in the industry we’re pretty much all of the opinion that one can support ethics freely without need to join a group. Especially a group that has done so much harm to individuals. Once…

I was called to interview with the county government where we lived at the time for a director job for their oft struggling and previously mismanaged EMS agency. It was going to be a tough job. But, while I was certain the job would be a beast for the 1st year, I felt like the service could be salvaged, it was a…

Signed up just to post this.

My worst interviews usually start with a glowing phone interview/setup, where they are excited about my credentials and work experience. I have a very White sounding name, Welsh first name, French surname. This was done on purpose by my parents because they knew the stigma that affects resumes with black and ethnic…

I interviewed at a place that could have been Quill, or someone very similar. They did “grass roots marketing” and “street level advertised marketing events”, which basically meant selling $50 flashlights or children’s toys for $20 door to door, and to random people on the street, hoping it’d be an odd enough…

I did. I just had a split second and I couldn’t imagine the awkwardness of refusing. So I shook his hand and on the way out took about three pumps of his secretary’s hand sanitizer.

I was early and nervous, as you tend to be for job interviews. I went to the bathroom to try and calm down and pass the time. A guy was clearly taking a number 2 in a stall. He comes out and walks right out the door without washing his hands.

Interestingly, I can’t tell if YOU’RE trolling.

Pretty sure the joke went -rushing- over your head.

Cool! It’d start the sequel to Gamergate!

Cersei juice = best wine euphemism ever

My late, proud-of-her-ignorance MIL used to pronounce the word “computer” as “kumpewder” and she’d always lift her chin in my direction as if to say... I dunno what. Trying to prove her point that “kumpewders” weren’t here to stay (yes — she would go on regular rants about how kumpewders were destroying the world).…

Not an allergy request but a ridiculous coffee request. At one cafe where I used to work, we kept the milk and cream behind the counter and would pour it in for the customer ourselves unless they asked to do it. One woman asked for me to make her coffee “about your color.” Because I’m neither coffee nor milk, I have…

This is why you don’t go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to.

your mom is a saint. i would have taken you down to the crick and drowned you.
