We keep regular office hours because we do customer support (internal customers, so it’s not like we’re supporting people who need us after they get home from their own work), but we are out of here every day at 5:00. Our manager is scrupulous about it, and also scrupulous about all of us taking an hour lunch away…

Fuck that. I just got promoted to manager, and I nevertheless plan on working 4o hours on the dot each week. A lot of older managers are in the habit of logging on in the evenings at my company, and I can tell you all that there is a 0% chance of me doing that. As soon as I do it, it will become the expectation. Nope.

I literally said to my wife yesterday, “Taylor Swift collects ‘friends’ like kids collect Pokémon.” She stared at me, shook her head, and asked, “How proud of yourself are you right now?”

have watched this so many times since it uploaded

Also no cupcakes

I hate this woman.

That’s the dream, right? A man who cooks for you and can’t spell “our” correctly.

I pretty much dismiss and flag all of that user’s posts, not sure why everyone else hasn’t been doing the same...

So this is a discussion I had the other day with this guy I really like. (Okay, okay, so it’s not another lady, but bear with me.) He was telling me how he’s lost 15 pounds and been watching his weight and stuff and he was happy about it, but at some point he got uncomfortable and said something like: oh, god, I sound…

As the daughter, wife, sister, and daughter-in-law to veterans, I also concur. The hateful, racist comments I’d hear from old vets while waiting for my husband at the Birmingham VA were appalling. The waiting room tv is permanently set to Fox News, so it was always a matter of time before someone starts ranting about…

What if she was diabetic and off her meds, would that be okay to talk about? Maybe we need to quit thinking about mental illness as a dirty little secret that needs to be hidden?

It is. She figured just because I’d gotten my period, I’d immediately run out and start fucking. She also had this obsession that having guy friends meant I was fucking all of them, which was of course projection cause that was the kind of teenage years she’d had.

He told her I was but I was not ;) He didn’t even check. He just had me sit in there for a minute.

We went opening night, and there was an older gentleman a few rows and to the side of us. He was GIDDY before the movie started, clapped when the title appeared, and was weeping when it ended. I love seeing people’s dreams come true.

They’re rabid Republicans who watch Fox News all day and listen to right-wing radio and furiously nod along. They claim I was brainwashed at college and that's the only possible reason I could be a Democrat.

Once, my mom and dad told us they were giving us the house for the weekend while they were taking a cruise. I was 18 and I was going to have friends over. It was going to be a fantastic weekend!

My dad was a pretty serious LOTR nerd before it was cool, i.e. before the movies came out. He read all the appendices and books by Tolkien’s son annotating his father’s notes and books about the linguistics and collections of artwork about Middle Earth. Two of these artists were particularly considered to be experts,…

Many adult shops will sell a multipack sampler, or allow you to pick and choose from a selection, something I’d recommend to anyone willing to learn how to make safe-sex better.

Just use the right size condom folks. A proper fitted condom is key. Too big, it will be loose and can pull itself off, too small and it will stretch and ruin the friction sensation (yes most condoms can stretch over a head/knee/fist and all that, but plain and simple it wont feel as good to either partner if it is…

high five to my bf who never complains about using a condom and with whom I have had many fantastic and safe sexual encounters without getting knocked up
