I like how with each explanation you got a little bit angrier at your husband. I don't know if you planned it, but the slow, methodical emergence of your barely-contained anger was pitch perfect.

I'm pretty sure I've shared this before, but the office manager at my first office job used to take bites out of people's lunches. Like, she would open the lunch bag, take out the sandwich, take a bite and then put it back. She got caught a million times and gave zero fucks.

I worked at a party supply rental/costume store for one day once. They really needed someone the very next day so I was hired and handed the keys to the place on the spot without so much as filling out a piece of paper.

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…

Last month I walked into work one day and my replacement was sitting at my desk.

This made me laugh on the inside because I'm pretty sure there are plenty of hyphenated-name feminists seeing as feminism is one of the reasons some people hyphenate their names :)

How's this for a coincidence? The girl's father also died in a hotel room while on vacation with his wife and daughter:

I completely feel for the little girl here. I can't imagine being told, on an official level, that they won't let you be called who you are.

I feel like it's worth mentioning that the judge in Tennessee who ordered a baby's name changed from "Messiah" to "Martin" (because only Jesus Christ can be called Messiah) had her ruling very quickly overturned, lost her job, and was publicly censured by a judicial review board that unanimously found her decision…

On a totally unrelated topic, Barack is how you spell peach in Hungarian and my family still living there can't get over how cute it is.

My only question here is how do Icelandic newspapers and news agencies declinate names that don't fit into Icelandic grammar? I can't imagine censorship of Harriet the Spy or Barack Obama because of grammatical inconsistency. If someone could clear this up for me, that would be great?

You know... Some of us really care about our careers more than family. Now, there's nothing wrong with putting your family first, if that's what you want to do, it's a totally legitimate choice, just as my choice to take my work as the most important thing in my life is a legitimate choice. But that's what it is: a…

I do think there's something in this. 9-12 months is a really, really long time in some industries - the financial sector, for one. Also if a lot of what you do involves client facing work, taking a lot of time off can mean you have far less business to come back to. There are ways to manage it, of course - some…

"Women who make full use of their maternity or parental leave entitlements receive, on average, lower wages in the years following their resumption of work than those who return before leave expires," the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development concludes in a review of studies on the subject. The effect…

GODDAMNIT EMPLOYERS.

Basic was doing alright without this highborn Bourgeoisie freeloader decided to hope in. Leave us poor people are basic patterns and cut goddamnit! We don't need some one to wear it better than us to remind us that we're poor, that's what normal fashion is for!

Can we please retire the idea that anyone who even remotely cares about looks is shallow, and good people will magically find someone attractive if they like they're personality?

I am evil and shallow and would not. I'm not looking for the male equivalent of a beauty queen, but I'd like someone single and age appropriate and this seems like a haven for dudes who are sort of kind of separated and twenty years older than they claim to attempt to get women to give them a chance.

I don't think it's fair to call it shallowness. If you're not attracted to someone then your relationship isn't going to work.
