My sister is living in Paris. She sent me a message saying she was safe. I called my dad. He didn’t know anything about it, because he’s been in hospital all evening with my mum. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago and is doing well, but had to go in tonight because she had a temperature. I start…

I was standing outside the train station waiting for a pick up, and this guy comes and stands next to me. He’s standing a bit close for my liking, so I casually shift over a bit, but don’t really think anything of it. There's silence for a full minute, then he just turns to me and says 'Don't you think women are…

I can’t stop watching this video. It has everything. Ducklings, kittens, sexy Irish accents, twee music, and a bizarre but adorable story.

I don’t really know why I’m posting this here but I don’t really know where else I can unleash all my ~feelings~. I know some people here have issues with people using GT for therapy, in which case, please don’t worry, that’s not what I’m doing, but maybe you could just skip this post :)

Many of you have heard me complain about my work with Evil Corporation. Today I was offered a new job with a lovely increase in salary. So now I can tell you Evil Corporation is. They made me cry, they wasted money on a PR team that did nothing so I had to do their work anyway, and they paid me peanuts.

I have told my recruitment consultant SEVERAL times now that my workplace is becoming suspicious about me taking calls all the time. I have asked him multiple times to please email unless it’s very important. And yet today he called me THREE TIMES to tell me that he still hasn’t heard back from the company I…

Very interesting report from the Independent about how social media is breaking down old cultural barriers for women’s empowerment in Afghanistan, with both positive and negative effects.

Hey guys! It’s been a while because I’m mostly lurking at the moment. I’ve been feeling pretty low because BoyFloreat has gone abroad for the whole summer and I’ve still failed to make any strong friends after over a year in the city. I started to notice that my weight was getting me down too, and just generally I was…

Step 1: Feel unsatisfied and underpaid in job, send out lots of CVs.

Ok, so I haven’t learnt to be an adult yet and my graduate overdraft limit will be going from £2,000 to £1,000 on the 1st of July, and they’ll slap a big fine and charge me a lot of interest on anything over. I am currently on -£1,300, bring home roughly £1,000 a month and for the past year I have tended to bounce…

As if reading about a deluded woman in an abusive relationship wasn’t bad enough, you will now be able to read all about the man-feelings of the abuser:

Watching literally the most privileged members of society, many of which are there because of birth, in a room covered in gold, wearing ridiculous costumes with fur, wigs and tiaras abound, telling us that we need austerity.

I feel like I run to you guys any time I have a slightly difficult work related issue, but please take it as a compliment as it’s only because your advice is so good...

Brit GTers, who's watching?

I’m looking for a step up in my career, or at least a salary improvement. Applying to current vacancies wasn’t getting me anywhere, so I sent out speculative CVs. I just saw a company I really wanted to work for advertising a position. As I read it, I couldn’t understand why they hadn’t contacted me - my skills were…

Do it.

So, in January I made a strategy for a client’s blog with themes, potential titles, and possible influential people who could write for us. They provided events, days and news that they wanted to shape the themes around, one of which was “women for the month of march”, as it included International women’s day and a…

Charmed22 mentioned it earlier, but BBC3 has a rather terrifying documentary, available on iPlayer, about Russia. In this first episode, Reggie, a well known mixed-race presenter, meets Russian Nationalist Socialists and some of their victims.

I hate people today. I just hate them. All of them.
