I’m dying at this!

Ha! We used to say that about one of our teachers in high school -that she looked like she skinned someone’s couch. And she couldn’t have been more than 30! She just had no clue how to dress in a professional, yet age appropriate manner.

Yep - Always call the police and report to insurance. I got into a very minor accident with a con artist once. I put a dent the size of my fist (and I am a lady with small hands) in the bumper of an SUV twice the size of my car. Airbag did not deploy, and her passenger was not injured. She tried to claim the…

I'm 40 and my boss is 53. Our personalities are like oil and water. She has actually said to me, she's too old to change how she is, so I just have to change how I am. Okay. Sure. And she's useless at technology, and remembering how to do things that we've taught her 10 times. She is super paranoid and an…

Your boss sounds like an ass! My current boss does not understand what I do, but at least leaves me alone to do it. But then complains she has no idea what I'm working on. Because it would never occur to her to ask, you see. I'm supposed to keep her thoroughly informed, when she's made it clear she only wants to…

YES!! This happened to me in grad school! I asked a question, and the douchebag professor was like, "no, that's the dumbest thing I ever heard." And not 5 minutes later, said the exact thing I had just asked a question about as a FACT. And everyone in the room turned to look at me like, "Are we all taking crazy…

I finished grad school in 2000. Wound up with $40,000 in student loan debt for both undergrad and grad (all federal, Sallie Mae loans). I finished paying it off in 2012.

The worst home stay experience I ever had was going to stay with a good friend who had moved a 3 hour train ride away, to Richmond, VA. She said she took off work, she had so much planned, we'd have a great time.

Yes, probably a pantry! Or, I can't think of the proper name for them, but they were also "dry kitchens", or prep space for the servants.

Ha! My apartment building was built in 1907 and I have 2 walk in closets. As in, they are 6 feet deep and I can walk into them if I duck under the rod. But they are normal old apartment width (3 feet, maybe?) Every apartment in this building is different, I have no idea how or why it was build this way. I kind of…

No, security guards have the best gossip! They fade into the background and see everything on cameras. And they really liked me at my previous job and wouldn't hesitate to share. For example, from them, I found out my boss gave a blowjob to a colleague in a conference room! I threw her the "you nasty" side eye for…

In my case, the parents were pre-existing clients, so no checks on credit worthiness were necessary. I didn't work in Bids, but it was my understanding that you could place an absentee bid anytime up to the morning of the sale by fax or email. The kid picked some very nice, substantial works in the daytime…

I used to work for Christie's. The only time I ever saw them cancel a sale was when someone's autistic child had managed to log onto their account and place a bunch of bids, and won 3 paintings! The kid had good taste, too.

Yeah, they'll need to do some serious eyebrow maintenance on him.

2 weeks later for me!

Have you ever been to the Church of the Panagia in Lindos, on Rhodes? Some of the most beautiful frescoes I've ever seen! And i knew from my guidebook that they had a cranky Greek lady stationed at the door who made you cover up with a sarong if you wore shorts, or a short skirt, so I wore pants when I went.

Wow. This is all nuts! This is pretty much why, when I do use a site for reading recaps (mostly Previously TV) I try not to read the comments. Way too many people with way too much time on their hands. Like, I hate-watch Glee. I do read the recap to figure out how much i need to fast forward when i watch the show…

"his character 'stands in the way' of a lesbian crackship occurring"

I just had an amazing chocolate milkshake yesterday that had that in it! I was planning on buying some so I can replicate it at home all winter long.

I once got screamed at (at a previous job) by an asshole I suspect of substance abuse problems or a breakdown (within a few weeks after he yelled at me he wrote the most hilarious and offensive email I ever saw, and cc'd the whole company, which led to him getting fired) because a woman who worked for me handling…
