You are a very sensible person, and I'm sure if you are a boss (and you should be), you are a good one.

I think that my former employer would wear his Thomas Pink shirts once and throw them away, like Queen Victoria's underpants (AHA A LINK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE!). That might be the reason why you see so many at the thrift shop.

WHAT IS IT WITH THE THEFT OF THOMAS PINK SHIRTS?!?!! You should still be mad, that is not cool at all.

It was amazing working for this guy and his partner, because they broke every rule of sexual harassment in the office. I think they were cocky or something. His partner would lean against me and snuggle me while I talked on the phone, and was always working on his laptop in my cube instead of in his own damn office.

OMG this guy sounds like a treat. He sounds like a character from Dilbert. Maybe he became a boss because he kept being promoted so that way he would have fewer responsibilities.

I don't want to reveal his name, because he is still in business and he is relatively high profile (and totally insane and vengeful). His name IS actually really hilarious, considering his job. His name evokes both his line of business and also part of the male anatomy.

Oh man, I only worked for this pillar of society for about nine months, but I could write a book. He is still in business, and relatively high profile, so I try not to get in too much trouble.

He did, in fact, buy the exact same color and style of shirt for himself not long before, so I think he jumped to conclusions. That job was FULL of sexual harassment. I haven't even started telling stories about this guy's partner, who, while his wife was pregnant with baby number three, would lean against me as I…

Pointless Stories With Pineapple Time!

This color and matte brick red. Those were the lipsticks of 1995.

I have definitely played coqui already; I had no idea it was not in the Scrabble dictionary. Yuzu as well. Those are just ordinary things in nature as far as I'm concerned.

For about three weeks, there will be two of you. Then my husband turns 40 at the end of the month.

THAT COULD BE.

Thank you. I'm glad to have entertained you :)

Men tend not to even really notice it, I've found. I have a sixth sense about when I'm going to get lucky, so I'm always prepared.

Why are there so many judgmental gynecologists? It just doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you're feeling better :)

I think they might be afraid that women won't follow the timing instructions; that's what really protects you, is the timing. I've always used mine correctly, though, and I have had exactly NO pregnancy scares in 12 years. But yes, they treat me like a weirdo. It doesn't help that I can't do throat cultures,…

YES this is true. I also live in NYC, and whenever I need to get a new one, I always anticipate a wait of a few days. I just buy the thing, insurance be damned. I don't let doctors bully me into "trying" hormonal methods anymore, and my mental health thanks me for it.

I KNOW RIGHT?!??! I have had that thought in secret for years!

That's really interesting, and something that I did not know. I actually started using a diaphragm while I was a college student because I decided to participate in a medical study for a less irritating spermicide (Nonoxynol-9, as it turned out), and I did not know its history. My friends WERE very judgmental at the…
