Dating thoughts please! I haven’t slept with anyone for nearly five years. I’ve been on dates but it’s mostly ended up meeting with men who are full of themselves or the rare time it’s been with a dude I’ve liked, they’ve not followed through on a second date.

Ten years ago, I ended a longtime friendship. My friend’s life choices weren’t agreeing with her, namely her shitty husband, so she had been passively-aggressively lashing out at me.

Wow - that’s a lot of accomplishment! And nearly 20lbs in two months is AMAZING. Here’s hoping you & your sis have a profitable and enjoyable Valentine’s Day with your packages - and working together as a team.

I hid my bathroom scale in the garage

I pushed myself to go on a first date, despite having a cold and feeling anxious about it. And it was good!

I got the best Annual Review in my department. “Exceeds Expectation”!!! Also the highest paid in a department full of men. Suck it! Very happy just to be employed, have a dog and work from home. Sometimes I worry that my aspirations aren’t higher...but that’s years of conditioning I suppose.

I was finally able to file just a single W2 on my taxes, for the first time in years! (It’s been a long time since I haven’t needed either a second job, or some freelance work on the side — both of which totally fuck you on taxes — to get by.) That means I finally get another decent-sized return, which I also haven’t

I’ve won a few cases as part of larger teams, but this week I won the first case that I handled all by myself, with minimal supervision! And the judge quoted heavily from my brief in his opinion!

I DIDNT GET FIRED!

I have been super busy at my job, and have been doing awesome at it!! Also go an apartment that I’m slowly moving into but bought a couch and bed that are getting delivered this week. Super excited. It doesn’t seem real. I lived in the city for 13 years, and lived out with my mom for a year and a half, so moving back

Not lit someone or your workplace on fire?

Well, I guess this would count as an achievement. A few weeks back I was injured and it looked as if I may have to give up living independently(because of lifelong disibility + new injury). Long story short, it looks as if I get to stay independent for now. I will be starting physical therepy soon, I applied for In

Knocked out tons of work - abstracts, a big push on a current research project, and applications. Fingers crossed for some positive results in the next month or two!

I stopped fearing and avoiding and opened my mail. Sounds ridiculous but avoiding the things the mail brings (usually bills and problems or something guilt-inducing) has been a feature of a long and difficult period of life that I’m *hoping* is lifting.

I got my first real big girl job! I am officially in at Teach for America! I turned in my regional preference form today and once they get back to me on that I will make my final decision. Looking about 75% chance I will take it but I want to do some more research. I am also sending in a few more applications and I am

“Spellcheck wouldn’t catch it, which is why this teacher...”

I’m not sure if I can roll my eyes much further...the context makes it pretty obvious it was a typo. Can we reserve our outrage for real things?

How many people outside of the US have heard of Mo’Nique as a comedian, or went to see Almost Christmas? But also, if she’s worth so much more, why aren’t other streaming services jumping in to offer her better deals?

I also think she is ignoring lots of other things that bring the value down, like how hard she is to work with and draw potential. Marvel movies aren’t going to be winning Best Picture anytime soon, but damn they pull in the money at the box office. Awards and bankable value are two completely different things.

I’ve yet to watch anything Schumer has been in other than Trainswreck but I think Mo’Nique is being selective. She picked one of Amy Schumer’s least successful movies. Trainwreck made 140 million worldwide and cost 35 million. She sold out Madison Square Garden. She’s a bigger name outside the US than Mo’Nique is (you
