In my shop, at least, requests like this go to our PR dept (Praise be to his noodly appendage that it is so) but quarterbacking from my particular office chair; I think her problems are 1) trying to punch above her subs count and 2) Not positioning the request like a business transaction.

I hate quoting other people’s jokes but since you included the Colbert gif, he said (paraphrasing):

And I was like, “Ugh, here we go.”

(I am so sorry, I feel this will be a very unpopular opinion, please be gentle with your rebuttals.) I have gotten turned off from this march because of the folks in my social media feed who are so into it: these are the women who are all about taking a selfie and immediately posting it to FB to shout at everyone…

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

The story reads to me like a groupie dissatisfied she was treated like a groupie.

Just here for the comments:

We shouldn’t. The entire idea is that once someone has served their time they’ve paid their debt and become a normal civilian again, and should regain all their rights. That’s part of why felons not being able to vote is unconstitutional.

Translation: “We didn’t think there were going to be any black kids in our school.”

“I’m wearing this ring that Jack gave me and I’ll always wear it, because love is a really cool, powerful, eternal thing and it doesn’t have to be defined the way we in Western culture define it as beginnings and ends.”

My feelings on the entire “SHE-E-O” thing. Yes, we need more female CEO’s for a variety of reasons. But don’t other them into this whole cutesy bullshit new thing. She is a CEO and deserves all the praise and scrutiny that comes from being a CEO of a successful business. And that’s it.

I don’t know where the hell I’ve been that I had no idea Roseanne is a Trump supporter who tweets Breitbart shit. How can that be? Wtf is wrong with her? Fuck her and her show.

The only time I wake my husband up in angry laughter is when he and the dog synchronize their snoring into a seamless loop.

Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff are apparently done.

I like you as a commenter and all but reading this take crystalizes how fucked the democratic party is.

I can’t stand sweet potatoes. Purple, red, gold, plain ‘ole russet, fingerling, love ‘em all, but never sweet potatoes.

I like Rose and all, but I wish she would use her spotlight to shed attention on other women and stories, rather than airing every mismatched sock in her personal Hollywood dirty laundry. At this point, I don’t think anyone is shocked to learn that Robert Rodriguez was an insensitive dickbro about making his…

Probably the same thing that happened in those situations 20 years ago, when most people didn’t carry cell phones.

Obama ordered a burger with Dijon once so they’re both bad if you think about it.
