Yet another example of what happens when NO ONE in corporate with decision making power has ever actually worked on the front lines. Corporate is forever making customer-facing employees’ jobs harder in the name of making their brand look like anything from more fun to more sleek and sophisticated.

Pro Tip: The idiom is “shuffled off this mortal coil” Also its merced (for mercenary) not murked. And yes I am willing to die on this hill!

Your Don’t Have to Believe Jussie, but Ask Yourself Why 

Hi, private test prep tutor for over a decade here. The Princeton Review, back in ancient times when I worked for them, advertised a guaranteed 200 point gain in students scores after taking the 36 hours class package. Money back guarantee. 300 points, depending on where you start is very, very doable for even an…

Here’s my thing....I think the rule is pretty damned racist to begin with. In wrestling in the US which athletes are most likely to have longer hairstyles to which they would attach enough cultural significance to be willing to wear bloody hairnets in HIGH SCHOOL at the highest levels of competition? Black and…

Someone needs to learn impact > intent. 

Word!

If you are on the streets of NYC in a Moncler or a Canada Goose and not in Antarctica doing some kind of scientific experiment I judge you and find you wanting as a human being. You do not need that coat to stay warm, so stop lying to yourself. I’ve had a Uniqlo puffer coat for over 10 years and it cost $100 at the…

So much this! As a person who has been lucky to be brought into a black family via the marriage of my mother and step-father, I have not magically become black or even black adjacent. I have a better idea than the average Becky what institutional and systemic racism looks like because I have my father and uncles to…

Lolololol. Ain’t you cute, Gates. I have worked for international companies and one woman shows and let me tell you, the fuckery I have witnessed working in the highest grossing store or franchise in the county tops any bullshit a small business owner can come up with. The company I work for now has people throwing…

And from the scuttlebut and rumors bring batted around during MSNBC’s election coverage, she’s not planning on staying. She’s gonna get shit set up and pass the torch. Take a deep breath my fellow progressives!

Australian trash bags gonna trash.

She’s 11 years younger, my bad. It must have been her because it was 2012ish. She looks damn good then!

So cheap and obnoxious! Blustered over a $2000 cashmere throw as a Christmas gift for his wife when was wearing at least $4000 in clothing. I am more embarrassed for his wife, who I adore on Penny Dreadful and Peaky Blinders!

She was sooo shocked I recognized her. And if you’ve seen SOA or you know she’s so much better looking that her portrayal of Jane.

The first time I met him I remember thinking he was soooo tall. He is downright bubbly too. He lit up the room. The next time I passed him on the street years later he wasn’t nearly as tall as I remembered him!

Like just about every celebrity I have ever met (with the exception of gold and silver medal Worst winners) they are honestly pretty much exactly what you would expect them to be like if you have seen enough of their works and their interviews. Did you see him the last time he was on Colbert? That’s what he’s like. He…

So I work in very,very high end retail for home goods in Manhattan. I have helped or at least spied on entirely too many celebrities for my weed and Zoloft addled brain to remember at this point. But I can give you my top 5 best and worst encounters.
