How does this not has more stars. I can stop literally laughing out loud. Seriously, the entire thing has my eyes all watery.

Initially I couldn’t understand all the fuss. But it doesn’t matter anymore. Because I’m happy to announce that your​ pointing out of my error has just inspired me to create spontaneously beautiful prose. I almost cried.

Ehhh...to be truthful it’s hard to say because it all depends​on the French exchange rate​. But let me try and calculate it for you...

At the Sausage Factory where I work (computer programming department made up of all men, where I am the lone woman technical writer), we recently hired a bunch of fresh out of college new developers. The lone American developer truly does think that he knows everything, it is insane. He ... is hard to manage. The rest…

That could have been the best ransom in history. Right after comes my hometown who once kidnapped a medieval nobleman for fun. They used the ransom money to build a tower facing his property, like a giant middle finger.

A medley of the reanimated club 27 with Elvis as special guest star?

Poodles of disposable income? Is that a lot more money than caboodles of disposable income or doodles of disposable income or oodles of disposable income?

Right? I’m reading an article right now about Paul Tollett, the guy who runs Coachella, and it goes into detail about the logistics that are required for something like this. I can’t believe that the acts even considered getting on board for something so obviously half-ass.

Best take so far:

I remember reading one study which basically (can’t remember exactly) reported that after taking a test the highest scorers who had the most reason to be confident had much lower confidence than the average scorers or the low scorers. Basically, they knew enough to know they hadn’t gotten everything right and had a…

I hosted a small event at the office, 40 people, and was *wiped* at the end of the day. Helping people have a good time is hard work.

As a woman who works mostly with men, I agree.

Different field, same idea- My husband has been in the manufacturing industry here in Aus for the past 26 years. He has done the hard yards, 16 hour days, missed out on family time, sacrificed/gone grey, completed all of the training and knows how his industry works. There is only a small cluster/posse of fellow old…

I met him a year or two ago at an event and I have no idea he was so young. He honestly came off to me as really uncomfortable, and not at all a guy who could talk people into giving him this much money. I honestly do not know how these doofuses do it. But based on another piece I read by someone who had worked on the…

Reputable people cost money though. I’m sure one of the dudebros on staff had a half semester of event planning and that was good enough!

A business in my area puts on a small music festival every year, and not only did it take them five years to put together the first one, they start planning the next year’s literally the day after the festival wraps. They have several employees who only work on this festival all year. My jaw fell open when I saw the…

$$$$. His previous project was setting up a (redundant unnecessary) concierge card for trust fund babies, so I’m sure he also pulled out the “I know important people” card. And never, ever forget the confidence of a supremely mediocre white man born into money.

I started following this story yesterday, while collapsed in an exhausted heap after hosting one three-hour party for 160 people, with my business partner (she and I both former media execs, in our forties), a highly experienced production team, fully onboard musicians and entertainers, and a well-established catering…

Right? I organized, with a partner, a one-day event with no more than about 20 people, in a public park where we needed no infrastructure or anything (basically, the 20 of us would put on various creative “happenings” throughout the day), with a generous budget and months of planning, when I was 36, and I would still…

What is a 25 year old doing running a major event like this? I see this all the time when a company brings in some young overconfident kid who talks a big game, who went to a nice school, has the right connections and knows how to speak hipster. Almost every time they screw up so critically someone with experience has…
