I do actually. And you don't notice because you are a good person- I think most people are like this. Just give them what they came for. It's an antiquated hiring practice that still exists in some places (not all), that really does no good.

There are tons of restaurants around here in Vancouver that basically trade off of having hot waitresses in form fitting black uniforms.

It depends on the restaurant, but I worked for Moxie's and Earl's (two Canadian chains that started in the West) in their lounge and they were very adamant about looks. You had to always wear makeup, heels, and have your nails manicured. Is it a ridiculous standard for serving food? Yes, but I went with it for the…

The more you know...

Every once in a great while I'll start getting up my own ass about how so-and-so makes "this much more" than I do, and then I realize that I'm already doing great, I got to live abroad for years and go to grad school, and I have some pretty sweet hobbies and interests.

The #2 comment is "'Women' (and I use that term loosely) like this make me extremely embarrassed of my gender."

Nope, mine was guilt free. Right choice for me, and not even a hard one (aside from being quite expensive). It's hard for some people, it's easy for others. Everyone's a snowflake.

Can I do a simultaneous eyeroll and yawn? Also how utterly cliche and predictable.

That is a porkpie. Not the same thing at all.

I can't believe another adult besides myself is also watching Twisted. I really thought I was the only one and berate myself as I watch it. The acting is pretty bad and overall it's kind of cheesy. No, not kind of. But I love it and need therapy. And I also am addicted to Teen Wolf even though it's starting to get a…

I have/had family members for whom "Yankee" is to be used as a bad word, sure. But New York uses that moniker for pride and ownership (obligatory YANKEES SUCK here). Whereas the "Redskins" thing comes from trying to look powerful by associating yourselves with a racial group you deem "savage." It's fucked.

Misogyny is to religion like hamburgers are to McDonalds - they didn't invent it but they do a very, very good business in it.

Completely OT:
I hate it when there's no evening Dirtbag from Ms. West. My night feels so incomplete.

I'd have shoved a cigarette up each nostril and lit them both, but I'm not a diplomat.

Seriously, there was no way on earth she could have been interacting with my cigarette smoke. Honestly. I was, as I said, an extremely conscientious smoker. My friend's husband literally died of an asthma attack, I would never have smoked in a way that could trigger an asthma attack. There are plenty of people who…

I dislike Scientology b/c I do think it is a cult beyond the usual trappings of most religious institutions. I hope she blows the entire fucking thing out of the water, they are disgraced, and, moreover, they have to start paying taxes again.

I don't know about y'all, but I am going to read the SHIT out of that book.

I LOVE YOU!

OMG... They film the Glades on my block. I've tried several times to get on the set, or be in the background walking by but they won't let me. Of course.

She looks so much much like him that you pretty much have to imagine it.
