YMMV of course. I happen to have married someone I met at work, I work in tech, he is a developer, I am a technical writer, and we still work in the same department to this day. In an open office. Though I do choose to work from home most days because I really do hate open offices (too noisy).

Right? I’m confused about the flak over Obama charging speaking fees. It’s a free country? He’s not in politics anymore? Question mark?

I’ve got the worst spring cold ever and my ears are so stuffed it’s insane, and for whatever reason your comment gave me the gigglefits like mad. Thanks!

My dad is a wet brain drunk and while Trump has said he has never touched a drop of alcohol, I can for sure see similarities between his addled state and my dad’s addled state. I mean, addled is addled, you know? How can people not see it?

Kudos to you, then, for having nerves of steel. Not everyone is you? Also, you have zero idea what is going on in her life that day. Maybe it’s not *only* the stroller, yeah?

My husband and I just flew ANA last year to Japan / Hong Kong and it was by far the best international carrier we’ve ever experienced. We even lucked out and got to fly on the BB-8 decorated airplane, which was a treat.

I believe that my days in college spent as a third shift diner waitress made me a much nicer person now that I’m a middle aged white collar professional. Absolutely.

Oh geez, the *whispering* in the crew spaces on airplanes! I hate that, I truly do. I realize that being an airline steward is probably a boring job most of the time and all there is to do is to clean up after us mammals, but honestly, could you not also make audible fun of us in our presence? It’s not cool.

Oh geez, Threads messed me up but good when I saw it over 20 years ago. Nightmares for months.

I can tell this story now because I am 43, but in high school, at a Dead concert, I hooked up with a guy who was nicknamed ‘Coffee Cup’ for his, uhhhh...

I just donated! Go go Jon Ossoff!

I am currently okay with #6. Let’s go with #6.

Right. I would be more pissed when the new company RIF’d me without giving me a decent severance after figuring out that they had a duplicate of me at their company once they acquired us.

As someone who has been a cog in the wheel for 20+ years now at Fortune 100 companies, I read 100% BS in that email and 0% wrong in it - it was all garden-variety corprospeak and legal-combed-through. I would have scanned it, rolled my eyes, and then if I were in the US Weekly department, scanned my LinkedIn (or

I get you. But ... have you taken a look at those truck pictures?!!?

Holy cow, blast from the past, *I remember that* U of M story. I mean, I hadn’t remembered it until you brought it up just now, but then BOOM, yeah. How creepy was that?!!?

I believe I read, perhaps in a Vanity Fair profile? can’t remember, that he doesn’t use a computer. Ever.

Thank you for asking the question too. I’m pretty up on all things pop culture and I have zero clue what they’re talking about.

Right. Because they have no idea or cannot comprehend that it can very well happen to them next. What maroons.

Wait, what? So...how can his “traveling privileges” be looked at? This makes zero sense to me. What are we, as a country, doing? I realize I am asking rhetorical questions that cannot possibly be answered until we can fix it through national elections or (hopefully) the impeachment process, but still. Wow.
