We tried to get one at work recently but we called it a meditation room. They didn’t go for it but did get some comfy chairs and cornered off a little semi-private area in the kitchen.

I have a pair of knock-off Uggs from there that I must have had for around 10 years now. I don’t wear them a lot but they have held up.

I disliked the tone of “but it was good for her it made her an underdog and more popular” before the post script. And since he knew he was going to ask about it before hand would have killed him to look up what mean things he may have said about her in the past before the interview.

The next of kin thing is one of the main reasons I’m married instead of just shacking up. My husband was terrified his mom would ignore is very explicit instructions if the decision was left to her.

I had a friend whose husband came to the US with his mom when he was a kid, they assumed applying for a green card after getting married would be easy. They spent a fortune and a ton of time apart (he had to return to Columbia for a significant amount of time as part of the process) and after about 6 years they ended…

I think it varies from place to place. Where I am now if I call in sick (and I have unlimited too) no one is contacting me unless it is an extreme emergency. The only time I’ve been contacted was to answer a 30-second question on where to find info for one of our most strategically important customers. Other places…

I always wonder how they get that stat. I always save up my vacation to the max carryover when I start a new job and from then on take my max. The way my company does it I have 18 vacation days right now I will take 13 more this year and carry over 5 (the max at my job) but I’m still taking my full allotment of 15 for…

The problem with Komen is that people think they are a charity about research and treating and supporting people with breast cancer but they are more about raising awareness of breast cancer. Half of the amount of their “program services”( they have a very good ratio of admin vs program expenses which is the basis of…

Off topic but I love trying to explain Cowboy Bepop to people without sounding insane. The initial bounty hunter in space part is fine but when I try to expand out it just gets hard.

My issue with this movie was similar to why I disliked Snow White, The director seemed much more interested in making something that looked cool instead of telling a story, so you end up with a bunch of visually interesting scenes haphazardly strung together.

Yeah there are a lot of things that I would forgive my husband for but hitting on underage girls is not one of those things.

I always think it so funny that Martha Stewart had a collection at Kmart.

It’s partly the fall of malls and rise of Wal-mart and target but the company has also been poorly managed for years. Sears ended their catalog business in the early 90's before the explosion of e-commerce if they had been able to delay that they could have been in a position to launch an amazon style website with…

Lowes isn’t owned by Wal-mart. They have the same color scheme but they’re not affiliated with each other.

I had something similar, shortly after we moved in together he quit his job (It was super shitty so I get why he quit) and I was like ok now you get to be 100% in charge of the household shit until you get a new job. It only took him like 3 months but he was fucking lucky we lived like 200feet from a grocery store…

Really what needs to happen is subsidies need to move from corn growers to people growing food to be eaten instead of turned into sweetener or energy.

The CEO of the company I work for is a very nice man who has always been kind and polite to me. He even shared a large milestone bonus with employees further down the line who were not eligible for it. It’s a good place to work we get decent benefits and reasonable expectations.

PT is such a pain the ass to get your insurance to cover long enough for it to do any good. It used to piss me off they would send me back to the super expensive orthopedic surgeon to see me for 5 minutes and confirm I was still in pain and needed more PT. PT was a pain to schedule, boring as hell, physically and…

They make me sleep hard, they used to make my grandpa hallucinate.

I commented on this above as well but I’m surprised you got even that. I had a bunch of work done including 2 root canals and my dentist told me to take a combo of Advil and Tylenol. When I had one several years ago the endodontist gave me hydrocodone. I probably didn’t need it back then since this time the Advil…
