Holy hell, I have a terrible head cold. I left work early today (I work evening shift at a call center) and came straight home to nap. My sinuses are burning and I have a difficult time with cold medicine (something about them make me feel like I've just consumed a handle of gin) so basically I am nursing some tea…

Happy 68th birthday to my original boyfraaaane, Tim Curry. Movie marathon has been going on all day, along with lots of cake batter fudge. My husband thought he had better things to do until I busted out the fudge and whiskey at lunch. Heh heh.

Last year I was working part-time at a retailer who opened at midnight for black Friday. I made blue velvet cinnamon rolls for my fellow midnight crew, using Wilton royal blue gel. The first guy to use the facilities, several hours later, came out and warned everyone not to freak out when their poop was blue. I was…

Sounds like you've got it sorted, but I wanted to say: My husband and I are childless, because we don't want them and because I can't have them (if we wanted them there are alternatives of course), but several of our couple-friends have iddie biddie kiddies. I am sort of a sociopath in that I *sometimes* just say…

This isn't a burner, so I kinda hope nobody I know suddenly decides to start reading Jezebel open threads.

We don't know each other, but OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH. You look amazing. Also those glasses on you are amazeballs. Strong work.

That is not at all what I remember as Roma Downey's face.

I have known (not romantically) many men who rock an awesome beard, some closely trimmed, some full-blown Grizzly Adams. My husband, however, has spotty-at-best facial hair which grows at a rate of 1 cm per year — except for his mustache, which grows in fully in about two days. He shaves it, neither of us want him…

Peanut butter! Or almond butter, if you prefer. Or a handful of almonds and a part-skim string cheese. I'm assuming you have no food sensitivities/are not veg. My dad, who is very strange in many ways, will absolutely eat a block of plain tofu as a snack if he's feeling munchy.

Thank you, and yes he has the squishiest face ever!

His name is Book, and he has no eyes, so he looks like this even when he is awake. :)

I'm 29, and I became unemployed in October of 2012 and started a new job on June 3, 2013. For unemployment I had to document every job I applied for, which it turns out was 84 jobs. I got the ONE job offer, which of course I accepted. On paper I was the ideal candidate for every gig, lovely resume, excellent…

I am quite lazy about housework (as in, you can always tell where I've been in the house, due to socks or a book, possibly cookie crumbs) and my husband is all about neatness. Everything as a home, and wouldn't it be just as easy for me to put that thing away before I leave the room? Anyway, we've been together for…

I vote for mailing it to his mom. Include a polite note with no contact details. As often as possible in life, I vote for doing the nice thing if it costs you nothing (aside from postage.)

A family friend died on Saturday, and the service is on Wednesday. He is (was? past tense feels so wrong) Jewish, and his family is sitting shiva beginning on Wednesday after the service. I am not Jewish, so I have two questions for anyone with input.

The headset only covers one ear, so I could definitely try one ear bud in the other! I feel silly for not having thought of it. We do use an instant messenger to have big group chats for questions/blowing off steam but of course it's all logged on the company software so the blowing off steam bit only goes so far. …

Sundays are usually very slow, but the other four days it ranges from 40-60 calls. It can be randomly totally dead for an hour, and then I'll have five twenty minute calls in a row. I'm part of the "escalations" team, so I get the long calls - angry customers, other agents who need help, etc. I'm tethered to the…

I recently started working for a company who sets up all their call center employees, of which I am one, to work from home. It's amazing, but I find that A) the silence in my home office is killing me, and B) it's hard to shake off difficult callers when there's no coworkers around to whom I can vent. I can't…

Good luck and god bless.
