Well, you just described what I want.

This Saturday Night Social must be on West Coast time.

Um, have you said anything to HR about it? Are the people in your HR department psychics?

Sorry, I was just ranting. I definitely didn't get that attitude from your comment!

I just want to say that "just getting a job" is easier said than done. I was unemployed after I graduated from college and I was willing to accept anything. It still took a good two and half months for me to find a job at a coffee shop and I was really resentful of people during that time who said I should just get a…

Oh man, that take on Christina's World is fucking genius. I did actually laugh out loud.

Ehh, your 3rd bullet point is basically being a self-righteous prick about it.

Yup, the two serious relationships I've been in started as hookups.

I loved that show. It's also the first time I was ever aware of Anderson Cooper.

Republican or Democrat, jeans do not count as business clothes in *most* workplaces.
