This happened a lot at the college I attended. I think people did what they wanted (it was college) and ultimately went their separate ways. Of course, being young and not so experienced with relationships probably played a significant role in their breakups, as opposed to class differences, etc. I would say try it…

I am obsessed with your username btw. I eat way too many of you and you sure are tasty :)

Can we do a television thread? Share shows that you are new to you and are your current obsession.

For costumes, it helps hide certain elements if all parts of the costume match a dancer’s skin tone. A lot of those intricate costumes actually include camouflaged/nude panels and require demi underwear (blanking on the actual name right now unfortunately) but those are also required portions of costumes too. I am so…

Thanks so much! I finally wizened up and decided to live with that. Just roll with it until I’m out in less than a month :)

Awwww thank you. Yeah, they screwed around with my contract for awhile. I am definitely not ever teaching again though - this was my final year (and final hurrah!) before applying to grad school. And we are moving coasts soon *crosses fingers* so I will 100% never have to see or work for any of these people again. I…

I will definitely have to suck it up and do it if she texts me again. Thus far, all is quiet on the western front.

They do, but there is no date on mine and it says “if you fail to turn it in, we will just assume you have no intention of returning for next year.” It’s pretty odd actually. Can’t recall seeing one like this before.

So my therapist essentially said that she has to “toughen me up a bit.” I am still dragging my feet with regards to handing in my notice at my current job - the principal/admin ignores my emails and intermittently/publicly says extremely unsupportive and borderline hostile comments - but I know I am leaving. I plan on…

I like kids and know I will like mine (at least after they start talking and developing personalities). But the labor part truly terrifies me :(

That Jez/lifehacker article from yesterday about childbirth has made my fear turn into a full-blown phobia. I am TERRIFIED of having a human being exit my body :(

Okay, will do. Thank you!

Someone give me advice on how to properly quit a job when your shitty boss is actively avoiding you and won’t give you the time of day.

Not even gonna lie, I’m living for Amber Valletta (just told my husband I would “rock the shit outta that dress” and he agreed), Rita Ora (except someone else needs to be wearing it cuz UGH) and Poppy Delivigne’s outfits. Nicole Kidman’s kinda works too.

Thanks so much for the kindness and support! It really brightens my day to know I am not crazy and that others understand my dilemma.

THANK YOU! That is exactly what I realized - she seemed exasperated with me, annoyed, and was dismissive. I have gone through an awful lot in the past month, between family emergencies, job changes, and my own mental and physical health, and since I only see her monthly, it’s a bit much for her to just brush me off by…

As someone dealing with a company that keeps changing their requirements - DO IT. You will not regret it. And they will have a hard time retaining workers once you leave.

Thank you again. This is immeasurably helpful advice. I hope your studies are going well :)

Awww that’s super cute! I don’t have the balls to get a tattoo of my childhood dog - would make me tear up too much. But so adorbs. Nice work!

Are you in a city where you could comfortably call the non-emergency line for the police? Does the maintenance company have an emergency number? Keep calling them. That is ridiculous - and might be dangerous depending on the kind of snake it is.
