If you're applying for a mainstream corporate job, why would you list any sort of activism on your résumé? No matter what it is, it seems like an unnecessary risk.

Identical except Jennifer had more experience and a higher skill set? What? That's not identical at all.

While it's not racism, saying that the confederate flag represents white people IS offensive.

Personally I think things got a bit ridiculous in the 1770's.

I agree. The worst thing about the bad VM is someone who leaves a long Bill Lumberg type message, but then turns into captain quicktalk when they give their number at the end of the 3 minute message. Now you have to listen to the whole thing again to get the number. When I leave a VM, I give name, number, why I…

Ugh. Screw that. If we said that kids (KIDS!! They are 18 fucking years old) who fail to declare a major within their first year, impacting their ability to graduate in four years, should not go to college... NO ONE WOULD GO TO COLLEGE except those rare people who know, at age 18, what they should be doing for the…

To be fair, I suppose there's an art to the voice message as well that people notoriously lack, and this is true both professionally and personally. I receive long-winded messages all the time that I have to listen to over and over in an attempt to write down what the person is trying to tell / ask of me. (And then I…

While I'm fine with voicemails, really long rambly ones drive me nuts, same with answering machines. One doctor I had, her answering machine took over forty-five seconds to get to the beep so I could leave the damn message (and no it wasn't like there were choices or legitimate reasons, it was just rambling). Every…

I guess it depends on what business you are in. At my office job, there is a definite age difference between those who email and those who call. It's not bad or good, it's just different.

I am Millennial OG (class of 2000) and my husband is from the tail end of Gen X. He leaves incredibly long, complicated voice mails (JUST LIKE HIS MOM DOES) in spite of the fact that he knows that I 1) won't listen to them, and 2) haven't left a voice mail for anyone in years because I think it's inconsiderate. I do…

Is Florida even real? Or is it a Christopher Guest movie?

I'm convinced there haven't been any actual (or worthy) divas since Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin and Mariah Carey.

I read an article about Estelle Getty once in which she discussed how she created a lot of Sophia's quirks in order to make her more realistic. One of those idiosyncrasies was Sophia's tendency to carry her purse every where she went. Getty said that as people age in this society they are treated as more of an…

Obama really seems to have a way with the children. I bet he plays a mad game of peek-a-boo.

Definitely reaching

Yeah, I'm a black woman and I can't even work up any outrage over this.

I for one am just glad that there are no ancient egyptians around so we can all be spared the jezebel outrage article (that writes itself) on the cultural appropriation of ankhs and sphinxes and what not.

Oh, God. Remember those awful "Oh, Joe" comments.

Same boat - left an Ohio town for Seattle. There are some states where it's so competitive, or just plain terrible trying to get a job that it's almost always a good idea to move.
