Just avoid the comments section of the podcast.

hummus is basically the staple of my diet, I eat it daily. Sabra 4 life.

I think most jobs at the local government level come with some crazy unpredictable/hilarious and terrifying stories. Most days are very boring though!

My job is actually great, but when I have to fill in at the receptionist's desk and deal with the public, they, yes, it gets crazy.

You're correct, and I guess that wasn't a great example. We thought it was funny here in the office because the caller worded it as "may or may not be dead" instead of saying "there is a raccoon laying in my yard acting weird" or something. We really do get the squirrel calls every spring when the baby squirrels…

I wanted to be an urban planner, but I got a job here right after graduating with my B.A. and never went back to school. Good luck! It's not all bad, and provides good stories to share.

No, but that show is one of my favorites!

AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ok I admit, she sounds like she wasn't the best employee, what with only producing some of the minutes and all. However, I am a public service employee for a local government and you would not believe the NIMBY bullshit we put up with from the public. I once had to explain to a lady that no, sorry,…

Wait, what?!

My husband went to WDW several times as a kid so he's nostalgic for it and wants to plan a family vacation for our kids. NO WAY. I don't want to stand in hot-as-balls Florida climate and pay hundreds of dollars to stand in long lines to ride the rides etc...I hate crowds and all these comments talking about going on a…

As a child, I always pictured God as Patrick Stewart, not as a big, bearded zeus-like fellow. I think it's from watching so much Star Trek, TNG with my parents.

Now that I'm a mother of 2 girls, my fear is that they will one day feel the same way I feel about my own mom. It makes me sad for my mom, because she must love me as much as I love my own kids. I love her, but I've had moments where I hated her...it's complicated. After reading these comments, I guess most…

That sucks. My parents complain about each other to me all the time too and I finally told them how uncomfortable it makes me. They still do it, but as soon as they start, I speak up and say stop, I'm not discussing dad/mom with you and I'll change the subject. It usually works. I don't get parents who put their…

Yeah, I blame both the parents and the adult child for these situations. My brother got divorced at 25 and lived with our parents for two years while he got his life back together. During that time, it was like he was a lazy teenager again. I could include a hundred examples of my parents doing things for him or…

now I wanna binge watch the west wing again.

I loved the ending in the elevator. I actually thought it might be a series finale since it warpped up so many story lines.

This is so true. I probably drink 9 - 12 cups of water a day right now. And every night around 8pm, I feel famished. It doesn't matter how much I eat during the day either, it's like my body is filling up so I can make milk all night.

"It's almost as if we're thanking a boy for doing chores while expecting them from girls."

I've got the same attitude about my job. It seems healthy to me. And, now that I'm a working mom, I appreciate having a job that pays the bills and doesn't stress me out.

I have a bad habit of taking my rings off and sticking them in my pocket or setting them down without thinking about it. When I need to wash my hands, put on lotion, even to tie my hair into a ponytail. The diamond isn't huge but it sticks up and snags on stuff. Anyways....I once tore apart my apartment looking for…
