i had to bite the inside of my mouth to avoid attracting my manager to my office, because i was afraid of laughing too loud.

from what i can tell from my high school friends (most of whom are Asian Americans), FotB is the closest approximation to their childhoods that they have seen represented on television, from the Chinese Learning Center references to the "stinky homemade lunches" packed in tupperware, and they are loving every minute…

I know hiring good, diverse engineers must not be easy. But that is what LinkedIn or recruiters are for. When a company is dedicated to it as a practice, they will see to it that if happens. However, when companies continue to employ cronyism as a means of hire (the boyfriend has *never* applied for a job since…

he has to do all the first level interviews in engineering and gets a decent amount of input for final hires. love him to death, and don't want to tell him how to do his job, but i have asked him before, "hey... have you ever... you know... CONSIDERED... hiring someone who DOESN'T, ummm, look exactly like you?" and…

i'm in, if only because my Sr. Engineer boyf says that he is having trouble "finding qualified women to hire" and that they just "aren't applying for the job" and that is why he has to hire only other white males. surely, living in orange county but a stones throw from UC Irvine, UC Riverside, UCLA, & CSU Long Beach,…

psst.... Are you me?

my dog looks like Jake Gyllenhaal. straight up. i say she's giving me those "Gyllenhaal eyes" when she wants something real bad. or maybe it's because HE just has puppy dog eyes? maybe i should not be blaming the puppy.

Khloe is TOTALLY Lizzie, bcos she is the one who initially got publically dissed for not being hot enough but being pleasant enough company and she was like, "Eff you haterzzz to the left."

Kim is Jane I guess, because she is like SEW PRETTY and has to be friends with everyone, so by default that means that Kanye would…

i work in Oakland, right near Silicon Valley. i field calls for an employment firm, and get calls from people who are in Upper to Mid Level management at some of the biggest tech companies (Intel, Oracle, Google, Twitter, Apple, and Tesla)—all of which have at one time or another had some of their female employees …

i'm thinking, Original Floor Keyboard from the 1987 film "Big"? i'm thinking, Tom Colicchio to make my Sunday Brunches? try to get Around the World in 80 days in the most Pimped Out Hot Air Balloon w/ Xhibit as my travel companion?

i would say skip it, head to YouTube, and watch all 2 seasons of Issa Rae's "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl" (eps are under 10 mins) because it is the hilarious, scathing, navel-gazing, society-watching protagonist with a shitty job, casual hook-ups and relationships in flux due to her own insecurities &…

i'm 11 years older than my youngest sibling, and often get to play the role of "sister-mother", or "parent-child liaison", if you will. for example, youngest brother wanted to go to a Rap Battle on a Friday night in nearby Oakland with Corey from 'Round the Way. mother said, "hell to the naw [understandable]."…

i think the tats, the brows, the chains & that hair are what def make it "chola" and not just 90s. cholas were influential in southern califas style, and no doubt it trickled up the socio-economic ladder (see gwen stefani) but Arquette's look here is calling back to a particular point in time.

dude, that has been my friends' and my escape plan all along. gather our "earthquake kit" (sorry mom, you're too far away! meet us up north!) and head up to the piece of land that one of our mutual friends owns near Redding, in the Redwoods. not staying in the Bay Area for this shit show to go down. also, we're taking…

i thought you could take babies to fire departments and safe haven laws would cover that? is that just california?

BET might have a black audience, but is no longer under private ownership (it used to be owned by Robert L. Johnson since the 1970s, when it was founded as a brand). It was purchased for some $2.5 billion to save it from bankruptcy about a year ago, I think; it is now owned by Viacom networks, and believe that makes a…

like, i just don't get it. why can't there be THE SAME DRESS available in TWO COLORS? why has the manufacturer yet to comment, knowing that it is tearing the country to shreds (unless this is made in China/USSR and this is some bizarro Cold War scheme to tear AMERICA apart)?!

as a frequent commenter on a semi-respected…

i don't know what Lullaby by Shawn Mullins is, but now you got that song "EverrrYYYthing's gonna be alright, Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye!" song stuck in my head. Thanks.

Countess LuAnn DeLessepps wrote a little diddy about this once...

her inability to apologize after going off on him re: date rape was spot on. my mom is the same about refusing to apologize, and also about being super paranoid. i was rolling! this show rules.
