He "got a blowie?" Seriously? I know I'm old, but these don't even sound like emails from cadets. They sound like emails written by the cadets' thirteen-year-old brothers trying to imagine how their older brothers talk about stuff. Sheesh. Crude, rude, dumb, sexist, homophobic.

I'm 58. I was a smoker for almost 30 years; every seven years or so, my intake would increase by a pack, until finally, I was at 4 packs a day. Granted, towards the end, I would light up so that I could think, my little cigarette buddy standing sentinel in the ashtray [of which there were many, strewn throughout the…

You are clearly an awesome parent. Good on you for working hard and setting up your daughter. I hope she gets a lot out of the internship!

You should not be advising people on how to perform in internships. You should be advising people to rebel against internships. Most internships are illegal anyway (it is against the law to hire people to do a job and not pay them at least minimum wage. the vast majority of internships do not fit the qualifications of…

I've worked in HR for close to 15 years now and I can unequivocally say everything you listed are actual 'real' jobs. When you waitressed did you sometimes have shitty customers who you still had to serve and charm to get a good tip? Guess what, in an office you're going to have shitty co-workers (or hopefully just…

Those are all "real" jobs and, despite seeming to have little correlation to your new job, will be more helpful than you realize. Especially with general problem solving skills. There are a whole lot of people who end up in grad school never having had any job, so you are already ahead of the game. Don't be nervous.

You should also be really nice to the administrative staff (if there is one!). They see interns come and go and act like entitled assholes. But they are likely highly trusted by whoever does the hiring/writes letters of recommendation/whatever else.

you need to check out season 5 of damages. boy is a sexy mess.

I always thought it was an NCAA requirement for coaches to have a degree. You know, because schools need good role models to shepherd the student-athletes through their studies (and, to a lesser extent, their athletic careers).

Doesn't this type of shit make you just want to stop watching sports? Seriously. The owner is basically saying, "We're not going to do anything that's going to cut into our absurdly huge profits, so it's either we get taxpayer money or we're going to think about leaving." Infuriating.

Fan base? Solid, sure, but Pens are distant second in their city. If you think that in Steelerville fans even have time to earn top 10 in the sport you're nuts or have never left western PA.

Long before the Planned Parenthood scandal, I was turned off by all their "pinkness." To me, it felt like the organization was bigger than the cause. Like they were creating this frenzy of pink = rah rah rah = girl power . And it always felt off to me.

It's one thing to go to a Penn State-William and Mary game the second weekend of September, warm weather, the students are just back, freshmen and amped up. But a PSU—Eastern Michigan game on February 25 with a 4 pm start, Beaver Stadium is a quarter full. You'd have to start later in the season, which means you run…
