Middle school, I got zoned into the nicer neighborhood, and science teacher called out my project in front of the class as the messiest thing she’d ever graded. We had no computer, no poster board so I’d cobbled together constructon paper and handwritten the reports. I’d also started working at a bakery in…

My day job includes telling new hotels how to set their rates. You did some good revenue management there.

No. I asked and was told no, then all my raise were based on that first salary because I stayed in that dept. I also didn’t expect to make it to middle class this early, but I have heard that leaving and coming back could double my pay...

I told my SO that I know I am in a good financial place since I now have a real bra for every day of the week. (Vs. A tight tank.) Bras were a luxury, now a neessity.

I, Asian woman, wrote an email about diversity (gender and minority) to someone, white and male, several rungs above me about two weeks ago. Well for fuck’s sake.

Didn’t know they were a thing until a friend getting married a month before me was tagged in his by his fiance. I asked my now husband if we need to do them. He said up to me so nope! We got 200 pics at the 45 min ceremony so we are good.

I interned at a big publisher in NYC. I learned the industry treated my love like a business, it was like walking in on the Simpsons writers saying, “That’s funny, but won’t that upset advertisers?”

My mother and grandmother did these sorts of questions to me, who would you live with if we divorced? Would you pull me out of the way of a car? Maybe it’s a culture thing.

I work in the industry, depending on the hotel, the upgrade may just be $20. Also, our high-level loyalty members get free upgrades when available.

Yes, I get mine at certain walmarts. $9 for 16 oz.

My breakaway moment was terrifying and freeing. Like a bird jumping out of a tree going “I’m supposed to fly” and “I’m going to die.” Hugs. You’ll make it.

You can't imagine how distraught I was when my NYPL account expired. Now trying to get one in my north Dallas suburb and OMG NYPL, can't I just give you money?

I just consumed two of her books this weekend based on this post. Between this and Miss Fisher series (book and TV), I would trust you guys with several hours of my life.

Senior year of college I was anxious about finding work during the reception, and my dad helpfully told me, "Don't worry. There are natural jobs for women: nurses to the (men) doctors, secretaries to the (men) bosses."

I made the same change from HSBC to Ally. Texas does not have any HSBC branches and I never went to an HSBC branch after I opened the account anyway.

Addison (suburb of Dallas), Texas

I got one, don't worry. It's comparable to sterilization.

My SO and I do it. No big. Just don't touch each other as you go to sleep.

Mouthguards are awkward, but the one my dentist made for me worked much better than the drugstore ones. It's expensive but I have never pulled it out / woken up to it outside of my mouth and have worn it for almost a year now.

My husband talks in his sleep, "It's a shame PBS made me a perv." and "What did you think I stole?" He has no memory of any dreams related to these outbursts.
