I have one of those "dream jobs" where people say "wow you must love your job!" at me 10 times a day. But you're right, it's still a job, I still have to go there, I still have bad days with shitty customers, stressed out co-workers and bossy bosses. But that's what they pay you for, right?

I've found over time that the most important thing for me isn't necessarily to live my passion, or to make a ton of money. The most important thing is to find a job that you find fulfilling enough to want to go there everyday, in an environment where you're surrounded by supportive, fun and realistic people. This will…

Oh well I was born in 84 and my husband in 81. I am totally self-absorbed and he is really fucking lazy. This sure explains a lot! Who knew our differences were due to a mere 3 year age gap?!

Then I THINK you mean FIANCE.

Yeah I know, you think they'd know better than anyone how it feels when people make unwelcome assessments of your body.

I think I was just completely open mouthed shocked (I hadn't had other people comment that I was fat before) and I just told her I was amazed she thought it was ok to be so rude!

I had a girl say this to me in high school - I had always been quite skinny but when I was about 18 I started getting a belly (maybe the alcohol?). And she's like "Wow, you have quite a paunch, don't you?" Like it was completely acceptable to comment on my body because she was a bigger girl than I was otherwise.

I was going to post similar snark about gluten. No matter your problem, some well-meaning person has to point a hysterical finger at a muffin. Every time. I thought candida was a real thing though.

My dog is three and he still has not mastered the art of catching things. He puts so much focus into the leaping and catching of the thing, and absolutely none into the landing. He often ends up on his back like this guy, but with a big thud.

They might be experts in their field but just have absolutely no sense of PR. They might be really verbose or take ages to reach a point, or not be able to put things in layman's terms or say things that could be misconstrued, so it's just teaching them the skills relevant to communicating in mass media.

A vote for both is as effective as a vote for neither!!

COTD!!

This reminds me of a cosmetics website here in New Zealand with the name Mantrap. http://www.mantrap.co.nz/

What about Strawberry Shortcake? I apparently had a meltdown like the author when I was presented with one. I was a white blond child - but I'm a redhead now ;).

Pretty sure the DEFINITION of work is "a lot of work that comes with rewards". I don't expect either to make my life any more meaningful.

I don't live in the US. I just mean that I don't expect a child OR a career to fulfil me and make me feel like I have it all.

The wonderful point this makes is that just because you don't want to have kids doesn't mean you want to be a slave to your workplace. Why are those the only two choices? And why is both "having it all" when there are so many other things I'd rather do than either of those?

Ooh lets all share not-lame Bachelorette parties! Mine:

By those standards I, and most people are assholes. Everyone is an asshole at some point, only difference is no one is watching us the whole time.
