I like to keep my work life and my real life separate. No one at work knows that much about me, and that’s the way I want it. I would never date a co-worker because if it didn’t work out, I’d have to see that person every day in the office and it would be awkward and painful. Also, I want to be thought of as a…

To be fair, all of Atlantic City is hell.

Your gym gets it. The tvs in the locker room at my gym are always showing sports or a rerun of the Big Bang Theory.

I mean, I hit rock bottom on the daily, usually 2 seconds after my alarm goes off and my brain wakes up enough to go, “oh god no, Lord why hast thou forsaken me?”

My stay at home mother in the 70s didn’t do such a great job of care-taking because she was super depressed due to not being able to follow her dreams and have a career and being treated like a second class citizen because she wasn’t earning any money.

That would have been great!

Counter-point: what if you’re a vegetarian, so your meal is always cheaper? Do you just resign yourself to always overpaying for your meal? Or do you get a divide-the-check-evenly-ten-times-and-the-eleventh-is-free deal?

She’s living her best life.

They’re encouraging people to work out while wearing a waist trainer? WTF? I don’t think that wearing something that impedes your breathing while exercising is a good idea. And sweating in “our tummy area” is not going to reduce bloat. Plus! your back muscles are what is supposed to support your back while working…

That really bothered me. He couldn’t just let his wife have her little piano playing moment. He had to jump in at the piano and try to upstage her, then disparage her and her friends because they are so beneath him and his amazing talent.

That relationship is never going to last. It sounds like your ex has a lot of growing up to do. And you’re not that old. You have plenty of time to find someone decent who’s looking for a person, not a pair of boobs on a stick. Women DO get better as we age. I am a much better person and romantic partner than I was in…

I don’t know. I have a hard time relating to 20 somethings. They actually make me feel older.

That’s my problem with book clubs. They make you read books you don’t want to read, taking precious time away from books that you really do want to read. That’s why I have wine club. No required reading, just wine drinking and talking shit.

Siri is just pretending not to know, for your own good.

I never use it, and I don’t know anyone who does.

That’s a relief.

Maybe it’s time for a healthy change in the way our society views work. Just because many Millennials view work differently than you do and want something different out of their work life doesn’t mean it’s wrong. And most people don’t get a bigger bonus if they work themselves to death. They just improve the bottom…

More likely he had a wife who did all the drudgery for him.

Exactly. Why damage your health and sanity trying to please a workaholic boss who will never be happy anyway? Workaholism is a dysfunction. There’s a difference between having a good work ethic and working yourself to death.

That might be a good place to curl up for a nap.
