Yeah, it’s really disappointing.

If I worked at Starbucks I’d get so much joy out of “misunderstanding” these people’s names when they ask for Merry Christmas. “What’s that? Murray Crispen? Peppermint Mocha for Murray comin’ right up!”

Was this also the era of dresses over jeans?

I’m so glad someone has finally acknowledged the need to tidy before the cleaning person comes! The best thing my roommates and I ever did was agree to play for a cleaning person once a month- $75 split four ways was so cheap compared to the roommate arguments about chores in other houses. But, I would ALWAYS tidy the…

I was lucky enough to hear her speak this past Monday - this was the second time and both times have been so inspiring. The content of her talks is always interesting, but moreso - exactly what you’re saying in the article - her kindness, curiosity, and empathy for everyone in the room is so present.

I actually asked my (former) doctor for one instead of the pill and she refused to give it to me because I hadn’t had children yet. I told her that I didn’t want children and she asked me why. This conversation is why she’s my former doctor.

If you read the source article it’s kind of hysterical (when you realize it’s a teenager complaining about her mom.) It’s a laundry list of privileged kid complaints. One of the things she said was that Rosie never cooked and ordered pizza or take out most nights.

I really enjoyed re-watching this scene with no sound on my lunch break. It’s even funnier when you have no idea what they’re talking about - it just looks like Bradley Cooper is doing a terrible job of playing house.

I wonder if her move to worry less about fad diets has her thinking more along the lines of HAES? In the article, WW mentions their desire to move away from a weight loss focus and more to helping people live healthier. This seems a little more in line with HAES as well. I’m not saying she/they’re adopting the whole…

Hildi was a perfect troll. I, also, would love to see her messing with midwesterners again.

Ha! If I ever met a Siobhan I would certainly ask them how their name is pronounced before proceeding with conversation. My name is frequently mispronounced and I appreciate when people ask me.

I’ve never heard the name Siobhan pronounced before so I had no idea it sounds like Shivonne.

As a hiring manager I almost never look at the name until I’m writing an email to set up an appointment for a phone screen. It's not the names that are an issue, it's the fact that I can never seem to get a goddamn cover letter! What is this?! The job description specifically asks for it and a major part of the job…

I didn’t listen to the original podcast (since it’s been taken down) but, she was saying that she originally didn’t name the person she was talking about, and also, she was telling the story in a much different way. Then Jezebel picked it up and added the name of the person and a lot of surrounding context that wasn’t…

RIGHT! This sort of thing happened to me as well and I never felt like I had to generalize my experience with some asshole dudes to EVERY MAN ON THE PLANET.

I literally just listened to an interview with Jen Kirkman where she talked about how upset the Jezebel article made her.

I can’t finish this quiz. I got to #5 and can’t proceed.

I make a living wage - and so do the teachers I’m mentioning. I have nothing to complain about at all. And, if they’re taking vacations, buying nice homes, driving nice cars - neither do they.

I get what you’re saying - and honestly, my aunt and uncle sound very similar to the life your parents lived.

It’s a mixed bag. One is part of a couple and her husband is also a teacher. I am a single woman who lives on my own doing a non-martyr career and it’s not as awesome as it sounds.
