Love seeing these happy updates!  Glad to hear you are both doing well.  Lots of baby hugs and kisses to little Cat!

Hi all!

Hi all I have good news!!!

So I went for an interview last week for a promotion at work, having applied for it before Christmas... and I got it.

No No No. Don’t think of it as being stood up.  Think of it as the universe giving you a big heads-up! Because you’re soooo much better than that skanky loser. Repeat as necessary...”It’s not me, it’s HIM”

He makes money. We are focusing on the men right now but I just shake my head watching this because there are women who enabled him, who HAD TO know, and what did they do? With the exception of victims who are speaking out and a few women adjacent to them, they stayed silent.

I applied to law schools at the beginning of this month after a lot of waffling about my applications. I ended up disclosing that I was raped during college, and subsequently dealt with anxiety/panic attacks. I ended up with a 3.5 GPA overall, but it was rocky. In the past three years I’ve been out of college, I’ve…

I channeled some of your spirit this week, bitching out my local council on facebook. Where my nan lives, theres 2 houses behind her and her neighbours that have stood empty for 2 years now. Suddenly the council want to knock the four houses down, despite not being able to because the non council building are listed,…

totally doesn’t sound harsh. We cannot have a relationship because of his addiction. Period. Even if there were amazing feelings - and there aren’t because of his addiction.

I got stood up tonight.

I’m honestly dumbfounded. Also relieved? And wholly mad. I’ve been seeing this person for almost two months now and they essentially told me it wasn’t worth it to walk 20 fucking minutes in the rain to see me. Bonus fun fact — by the time he was supposed to come over to my apartment (for the…

Because all men benefit from patriarchy, and he has consistently targeted black girls (you probably already know this, just putting it out there for anyone who might not).

This may sound harsh, but I’ve known a lot of “emotionally unavailable” guys, and if they are into a girl, they’ll drop anything to make it happen regardless of situation or emotional issues. I’m sure he does genuinely really like you, feel attracted to you and like being around you, but guys can also get a picture of…

Someone PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME, how the hell is R. Kelly still roaming the streets???

A friend of mine interviewed for a job she really wanted and had accidentally printed out her writing sample without the last paragraph (or something similar - maybe it had a typo? Something like that). When she realized, they were so impressed that she fessed up to it and allowed her to resubmit it over email. She…

I contacted the person I had emailed about the program earlier and only said I realized I attached the wrong one and the correct was attached to the email. There’s no big explanation other than I attached a previous version.

I wish SNS wasn’t so early. :( it’s 3pm here!

I realize no one will reply to this but I am sulking tonight. I submitted an application to my top choice graduate program dec 10 and I realized tonight that I attached the wrong resume. The resume I attached to my application copied and pasted my work experience from one company to the company below. So they are…

I dated this guy (Army soldier) on and off for three years. We’re kind of kindred spirits - and we were both emotionally unavailable. I’ll go right on record saying he’s got alcohol issues and depression - not a great mix, and he’s not getting help. But I got help with my trauma and I’m doing better. If he wasn’t an…

I got bronchitis right before Christmas and am still trying to get better. Missed four days of work (my next paycheck is going to be very sad). Luckily they didn’t count against me since we’re low census.

I am trying to coordinate getting more intensive counseling than I am currently getting (I would like to actually…
