If nothing else, at least we know it's not just us — it's happening everywhere!

Could White people please stop talking about the "militarization" of the police, as if the police just started treating Black people this way 10 years ago when the government started handing this gear out?

my MIL went the whole hog and wore black and never smiled once! I had family and friends all day telling me she was sulking and crying all day. Like the toddler she was being, I just ignored her bad behaviour.

"But not in a crazy way, more like a Lauren Bacall way."

About five months after I graduated from college in 2012, I got a job as a reporter at a small paper in a small town. Fewer than 10,000 people. I've never lived or worked in a place this small, so it was kind of a culture shock. The newspaper has a really small staff too. Me, my boss, a secretary, the other reporter…

When I was in college, I covered for a law firm's receptionist when she was out. The firm shared a reception area with the county mental health commissioner, which means that he decided whether people should be forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital or rehab when a petition was filed. Like with Britney Spears…

This story comes, as do most of my better ones, from my time working at Space Camp. I was working an adult weeklong camp during the off season and it came to the time of week when the campers participated in their extended mission which was eight hours long. I was working the SpaceHab area which is the self contained…

I was doing clinicals for my CNA training when this happened, so not necessarily a job, but close enough.

Not necessarily the worst thing that's ever happened to me at work, but it's one of my favorites. Years ago I worked second shift in the word processing department of a big 3 accounting firm. This was back in the day when pretty much everyone competent was on second shift, and a huge part of the job was to clean up…

I work with teenagers. These are actual things that I have had to say in the last 7 weeks:

Worked for a very Mormon attorney who had seven children and a devoted wife, as well as a habit of watching porn all day at work with his door open. One day he must have accidentally unplugged his headphones, and myself and another paralegal were treated to the sound of a woman loudly climaxing. She looked at me…

My senior year of high school I worked at a a chain restaurant as the to-go specialist. I was in the middle of a phone order when I heard, "Get down! Get down!" and several people rushed back into the kitchen and back by my to-go nook. My initial thought was that someone was robbing the restaurant and hell no I wasn't…

I shall now tell the story of the Penny Killer.

Oh, my god, I had a boss who did the exact same thing. Is this a generational thing? Rabbits with ridiculous voices? He also liked to provide insight into the private thoughts of the raccoons that came around his backyard, complete with a song and dance (I wish I were kidding) he made up.

What do you want to hear about first?

Oh actually, here's a decent one. I had broken up with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, and the organization's Executive Director was in town because it was our new Deputy Director's first day on the job. I hadn't had much face time with the ED before and was obviously trying to impress this new guy. We were all going…

Oh god. So many. The best may have been working at a printshop. One day, one of the printers disappeared. "Where's Gary?" everyone wondered. It's pretty obvious when you run a very large, noisy press when you stay on your break too long, because everyone is just standing around waiting for you, and time, as they say,…

This is actually my dad's story but it's a family favorite that always gets trotted out at holidays and parties.

oh i have another one!
