Would you recommend blurting it out before the server brings the drinks, or do you let it work itself organically into the flow of the conversation?

Secret service: “ Can I go on Trump detail? Sure he’s batshit insane, but at least he’s sedentary. “

Did the guy who hired you have experience working in a turn-of-the-20th-century prison? Pointlessly breaking and moving rocks was often part of the sentence. That’s where the phrases “Go break rocks” and “to do hard labor” or “do hard time” come from.

First job was delivering newspapers (remember those?) in my little town in South Jersey. I started with 20-25 customers, grew the route to 35-40 and eventually took over the route next to mine as well for a total of 80 daily customers and 100+ Sundays.

I was 16 and had no car or license but my stepmother thought I ought to get a job despite being at her house in a small town where the grocery store was already staffed. I tried to get a job at the ice cream stand.

I’m from around those parts.  It could be worse - I knew someone who did a living history role in Tennessee in the summer, and she DID have to wash her own costumes, with the old timey equipment, on the job. 

At my first job, I worked at a buffet place. Think Golden Corral. It catered to the 65+ crowd, and more than half the customers were regulars.

My dad’s boat motor exploded due to a bad set of spark plugs sold to him by the local marina. After berating them and negotiating how to fix the motor, they asked, “is there anything else we can do to make this better?” He said, “Yeah you can give my 14 year old daughter a job.”

My first job was as a chambermaid in a cheap, non-chain motel along Rte 1. It was close enough to beaches for people to use as a vacation stay, but far enough away that it couldn’t charge high rates.

Not even my first job, but an internship at a small but respected industry magazine owned by Conde Nast (I think they owned much more in the early 2000s than they do now).

After I dropped 40 pounds, I had two longtime guy friends suddenly decide that they saw me in a Different Way. Did I want to date them? No, I did not because they lacked so much self-awareness. I also had an ex decide I was The One after all, and he swears it had nothing to do with my "dramatic transformation." (His…

I paid for a sleep consultation from a “sleep expert”. It helped immensely. I was in the thick of postpartum anxiety/depression, though I couldn’t quite identify it as such. Having someone in a position of calm authority tell me exactly what to do and when to do it and WHY to do it helped pull me out of a spiral of…

And it is nearly ALL bullshit. I started my career in 1992 and I can not believe some of the ridiculousness that is being marketed at parents. My sister has a 6 month old son and some of the things she tells me, in terms of advice or things her mommy friends tell her? Half of my texts to her are “You don’t need that”,…

Shit. You can all pay me to talk with you. I have a PhD in Child development and 25 years experience working with young children including infants ( my actual specialty).

Taking Cara Baby

And Secret Service protection!!!!

That, and he’ll lose his pension and some other post-president benefits like an annual travel budget

The impeachment matters for legal reasons.

Seven days to go. A man—a bad man—can break a lot of laws in seven days.

I worked in a niche field for a bit, and our staff had an older couple (60s) who had dated for like...35 years or something insane and then he LEFT HER to marry a 20ish year old. Because it was a niche field and we were at one of the top institutions, they both remained, offices directly next to each other, and just…
