Granny Panties are the BEST so I am LOVING this trend. Finally my underwear drawer full of hanes full coverage briefs are HIGH FASHION.

I just sit there sometimes at my desk, my mind exploding, as I watch grown-ass millennials reenact scenes from Mad Men.

One of those told me that he has more experience in our field than anyone on our company’s management team (of which I am a member). I have been in “the field” since he was an undergraduate. My female boss even longer. Another female colleague on the committee has the same number of years as he does. The only ones

AND HE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR WITH ME. EVER. IT WAS JUST SOMETHING HE FELT WAS DEFINITELY TRUE.

At a recent newsroom meeting where editors were debating whether I should travel to a city 7 hours away for a story, my younger male colleague (sports desk) baldly informed the room that this was terrible idea since “ChaseOM is a terrible driver!”

Every single time the bartender will strike the conversation up with my SO about beer styles, trends, etc. and he’ll have to gesture over to me with while saying “I dunno, I don’t know much about beer. She’s the editor of xxyy magazine.

When I was in college, my roommate and I went to some Halloween party with a girl from our dorm. The next morning, she comes walking up to the common area still in her eighties-prom outfit. We asked her where she ended up staying the night...she lifts up her dress to reveal her yellow thighs and says "Bart Simpson
