yes! and then we can all go to the meeting and sit there for two hours while it becomes painfully clear that nobody else has prepped for the discussion! and we can get interrupted!

I write emails exactly like Angela’s all the time, force of habit and conscience. But I think you’re really on to something here. So, what would you recommend?

All of what she outlined is important information. Just because reading is harder than you’ll ever be doesn’t mean it’s not important.

She knows he hates all of it, but she shouldn’t have to change. She is fully informing her co-worker, which is just being a thoughtful and thorough colleague. She’s also creating a paper trail so his future idiocies don’t come back on her (which I’m sure he resents).

“I actually never learned how to read. I just learned to write this half-sentence visually. -d”

It is a power differential thing. Lots of people—but I’ll be honest, usually dudes—assert themselves by withholding info and being markedly casual in writing. If they’re not doing it on purpose, they’ve been taught to believe that they don’t owe others the time and effort it takes to share their work in depth. They’ve…

Not necessarily—e-mails summarizing progress on a project and findings from research or data manipulation function as memos in a lot of offices. It’s also helpful to keep each step of the process in writing and easily accessible to all parties.

This is an email about a specific project. Since you don’t know the content or anything about that project, how can you determine that the information included is somehow not important? You can’t.

Hi Dan—

She’s young, this is her time to experiment and look a fool. She has the rest of her life to perfect her “look.” The bleached hair and black lip may not be prettiest on her, but I’m kind of loving that she’s stepping outside her mold recently.

thanks Grey Street’s mom, I’ll make different plans for my evening

Fucking Tubbs! (yes, I changed his name to that in my cat book)

I was thinking more of how bananas are one of those things you’re supposed to eat when you have vicious diarrhea.

Co-signed on the cheese part (I am from Wisconsin). I can’t even handle low-fat/non-fat dairy products.

If this diet doesn’t include a substantial amount of purging, I’ll eat my hat*.

this is probably hypocritical coming from somebody that spends as much time in the Jezebel comments section as I do, but these people have way too much fucking time on their hands

I’m glad she’s finally in the body she feels comfortable in. I despise everything she stands for.

Jesus, dude this sucks, I normally like the What Would You Do? show because the scenario always involves actors and, like you said, it’s the bystanders who get to make the choices.

You didn’t have a say or any choice and that was wrong of them. Totally. I’m sorry you were blindsighted and embarrassed, I would be…

“And we were together for a few years before that.” BECAUSE YOU WERE HER DADDY, you fucking pedophile creep.
