Truth. I spent half a year saying, "No really guys, you're giving me too much work, I can't do it all" before I finally went into my boss's office and broke down crying because it was, in fact, too much. I want no part of a system that requires me to completely freak out / threaten to quit in order to be taken…

Just wanted to jump in (late) to say thanks for bringing this up. I swear like a sailor, and it never once occurred to me that anyone nearby might have this kind of association. But I understand where you're coming from: I don't drink, and people make all kinds of assumptions about me when they find out - ranging from…

Since you've been there longer than 6 months, it wouldn't hurt to tell your boss that you'd like a salary adjustment. (My advice is to call it a salary adjustment - if they offer you a raise, it may still not bring you level with your peers.) In all likelihood your boss will say that money talk happens during the…

Real talk: They are never going to give you a raise. Seriously, never. If you have accepted three performance reviews with assurances of a raise somewhere down the road, your boss is no longer afraid of you leaving. They will string you along until you retire or quit.

“We found it interesting that most women only read when they are traveling,” says Brandon Wade, Founder & CEO of MissTravel.com.

I got hit on a few times for reading the original Gangs of New York, but it only lasted until they realized that I was reading it, not using it as a prop to attract suitors.

Lesbian. Immediately begin assessment of whether she wants a threesome. Fingersmith odds: DTF based on title alone. Jacob's Room? 2:1 but she will want to cuddle after and talk about how alone we all are.

Good on you for explaining it. I feel like the place where most SA training ends (after the video and the multiple-choice quiz) is actually where it needs to begin: have everyone sit in a circle and talk about what's okay and what's not. At the very least it would expose the creeps I never want to be caught alone with…

Bless you.

Fabulous. I guess I always thought they were sort of frozen at the age they'd been when they were transformed. Except that awkwardly makes the prince about 31 and Belle still around 16.

I don't know why I did notice it, except that my best childhood friend strongly identified with Belle and also with her Italian roots, so I always sort of pictured Belle as Mediterranean in coloring. (Aside: this entire article is forcing me to confront the extent to which I internalized Disney as a child and WHOA.)

Touché. It looks like they puffed up her boobs a bit, so needed more coverage perhaps?

Was about to say the same thing. The face shape is killing me. It is literally the same face, just flipped and shaded differently for each girl.

I had the opposite reaction - I felt more offended by Belle than any of the others (except Mulan, but that one's so blatant it's hard to muster up the energy to complain about it). She's got two or three times as much hair as the original, she's considerably lighter in both skin and hair, and to me she even looks…

At the very least they need to compress the book's worth of blow jobs she gives to Daario. Though based on how much they're enjoying the Theon/Roose scenes this season, I'm not holding my breath.

I loathe our prison system and I think most of GenPop doesn't deserve the mistreatment they experience behind bars. But this guy? Lock him up, melt the key, and pour the liquid metal over his balls.

Alas, I fear most/all of Winds of Winter will involve Tyrion using his dragon lore to teach Dany how to mother her dragons. It can't be an accident that he was all obsessed with them as a kid and then GRRM dragged him all the way across the world to end up in Dany's camp. My prediction: last chapter of Book 6 is…

[HERE THERE BE SPOILERS]

Oy. Just the thought of writing A Storm of Swords longhand gives me carpal tunnel sympathy pains.

After an internship like that, she should definitely relax for a spell.
