Astonishing, isn't it? I spent most of my interview for my "serious" job (future corporate lawyer) talking about the skills I learnt in my four years working for my college bar during university. Why anyone thinks that they deserve a good job despite having no evident work ethic is beyond me.

That caught my eye as well. I've never heard anyone use that phrase in a non-gendered manner, so while I doubt he'd admit it I'd guess that he is depending on people (read: men, the only audience he apparently thinks about) to interpret it that way.

Why does he always look like he's trying to kill Batman?

Find allies at work who you can bond with. Be very careful, though, bc sometimes allies turn out to be snakes.

One of my friends said this was about Stand Your Ground laws, not racism and I almost exploded. Because those laws could not possibly have anything to do with racism. Oy.

Just persevere. I thought nothing would drown out a tone deaf "Awesome God" but the thought of cunnilingus did. ;D

Drug him? I wish I had advice, but my last boss would play the Christian radio station and sing along to it. It drove me nuts but I never said anything. I just started daydreaming about sex. Killed my anger thoughts.
