That is like VEEP level incompetence. 

Oh I totally agree! I may not have been clear- I meant the argument the author of this piece was trying to make was bizarre!

So it’s unfair that people can’t make money off their crimes? I mean would we be ok with someone like David Berkowitz making money by detailing his crimes to a book writer? Seems like a bizarre argument to me. I mean this woman shouldn’t get rich off of blatantly conning people (yes I know that’s the purview of the…

My scream therapy is yelling at drivers on my hour commute to my shitty job where not moving from my cubicle for 8 hours is my sensory deprivation. 

Yea. I actually posted the screenshot. 

My surprise at the cnn front page right now!

Uhhhh I literally live in the burbs Bc it’s cheaper. Simmer down, dude. 

It was so rainy it was dark by 7 :(

I know he isn’t a one off but the owner of the Duff brewery saying “well that’s the end of me” will never not make me laugh. 

Seriously I feel like I need to open my home to Alabama residents to leave the state. And I live in Kentucky. 

Honestly the most unbelievable part is that she would drink a coke.

I am glad your job is rewarding but I agree with heywood. Every workplace should have a “hit by a bus” contingency for functionality. Having everything on one person is a very poor strategy. 

I 100% agree. I was forced to take medical leave and it completely changed my perspective on work.I wish people would chill and not take themselves so seriously. 

Thanks for your perspective! 

I feel like temps could be used in such a better way. So often people feel like no one else could possibly do their job, when a temp is a great solution. 

I work in workforce development and follow a ton of workplace blogs and it’s interesting to read how different workplaces themselves are in countries that offer long parental leaves. Basically they are designed in a way where functionality is minimally effected by long absences of an individual. Many people from these…

Wow this was a completely unnecessary article. Not everything has to be hated on. He seems pleasant. People are excited by a pleasant person. Why the handwringing?
