One of my close friends is working on the bionic pancreas team at Boston University and they hope to have awesome therapy for Type 1 diabetes very soon. Here's hoping you can stop SMHing at people in the near future.
Is there a positive way to portray gang members? Or a respectful way? I'm confused.
Jane made a sarcastic comment, which you apparently failed to grasp.
You must be fun at parties.
Question: is it ok to use "drag queen" or is that offensive to some people? If so, is there a better term or more neutral term?
now that's actually incorrect. There are no federal laws protecting what a former employer can say about you. If you were fired with cause, they are free to say so and give the reason. Companies shy away from this as a matter of internal policy because of the risk of defamation/slander lawsuits from former employees.…
I know what you're saying, but a woman (or man) shouldn't have to employ subterfuge to dodge these kinds of questions. Perhaps a "oh, why do you ask?" would drive the point home.
If only one of the biggest companies in the world and one of the top US employers had some kind of computer-based training programs for newly hired cashiers. One can only dream of such sophistication!
that is an illegal interview question, FYI.
I enjoy the occasional replay of that game 7 more than I enjoy my wedding video. Fuck the Bruins forever. I'll see myself out.
in contrast, JLo, who is a lovely woman with an without makeup, is Photoshoping her Instagram pics.
I agree with much of your comment except for the last part. Part-time cashiers get hired at mass retailers every single day. If they didn't want to hire her back, it's not because there was no room.
So, fuck Hobby Lobby, I hope it goes down in a glittery fire but... If a company that always needs unskilled labor doesn't want to hire you back, you were not an employee they liked and this is just a convenient reason. Otherwise, what's their incentive here? They didn't have to pay her anything, so if she was a…
I'm glad that your anecdata worked out for you but you are in the minority, and shouldn't and can't expect other women to be so fortunate.
That's why I specified in the US. The majority of Jez readers live in the US and the article above references a North American couple.
No, you're not. As a married person, you have rights and responsibilities to your spouse that are completely different than being someone's girlfriend. Everything from health insurance, to making end-of-life decisions comes with marriage. There is no such thing as "as good as married" in the US and historically and…
Don't do it. Do. Not. Fucking. Do. It. Don't do it without very, very clear and legally binding signed agreements as to what happens in case of a breakup. They don't make laws for boyfriends and in many jurisdictions, you're going to be very shit out of luck. I can't tell you how many friends I have that ended up…
