I missed hitting a woman on my bike by nearly an inch because she was laughing and walking backwards (not paying attention) ONTO THE FUCKING BIKE PATH. I'm not gonna lie. If I hit her, it would've been a hit and run (if she seemed fine). It was her fault but cyclists will always lose if they hit people regardless of…

I discovered a COCKROACH in my Keurig's reservoir AFTER I made my coffee. I honestly just laughed at the situation.

Agreed. I tried jumping on the greek yogurt bandwagon and then reality set in for me.

Pacific Northwest, friends. I would love some insight into Seattle. I'm thinking of applying for jobs there. I've never visited but based on what I know, I think it might be a good fit for me. I'd love your insight, though.

J-Date is a whoooole other story. Those men ARE looking for commitment. Most men aren't on J-Date to casually date.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't even want kids but guys in their 30s don't even give me a chance to get to that conversation. They all just assume I'm "ready for babies!" Nope. I do, however, want to find a life partner. I'd like to do that sooner rather than later at this point in my life. That also probably…

I'm right there with you. Keep commenting! Most times I sit in the grey but I'm okay with that knowing that most people do actually read the comments in the grey.

I work in a field that demands and teaches a high level of multicultural competence and my co-worker and I both admit to loving Luda. We've discussed this feeling of conflict and hypocrisy and we've gotten to a place where we consider Luda a guilty pleasure. We are fully aware of the many issues with his music and…

My favorite response to pushy extroverts is "Girl, I'm an introvert! Don't you know that I need to be by myself to recharge 'n' shit?! Let's hang this weekend." It's always playful and they always get the hint.

Are you in NYC? If so, that's the status quo here. I'm about to turn 31 and have the same experience. Also, a lot of men in their 30s assume we are all ready to settle down and have kids right away, which might be true for many women. Unfortunately, for women, men don't have to rush to have kids so they take their…

Bub is super cute on Vine. So is BatDad. Seriously. BatDad.

Right. Like a dictator's wife actually has any sort of power. Have we forgotten about very real gender and political power dynamics here?

I'm one of those people who "seems" to hire outgoing people who turn out to be "raging fucking dbags." I recommend you actually talk to some student affairs professionals. You clearly don't understand how hard it is to find student leaders who really care about this type of work. Some of us are actually drawn to…

I have a quick terminology question. Is the preferred term "dreadlocks" or "locks?" I ask because I've noticed a colleague correct a few people when they've said "dreadlocks." He asks them to say "locks."

Yeah, work was a big reason why I didn't deactivate sooner. I needed it for my office to advertise various events. My grad cohort also used it a lot to make plans and generally keep in touch since we lived all over the place.

Scandalous and hilarious indeed!

Yes! Why do people do that? I actually had a colleague go "MIA" via email when a bunch of us were trying to figure out staffing for some events this weekend. He didn't respond to anything and he doesn't report to any of us so we couldn't exactly call him out on being MIA. Then I see him on Facebook at his lake house…

Thank you! I really appreciate the validation.

I actually have a similar concern. I'm pretty active on FB so if I deactivate then it may alarm people. But I figure, if they care that much about me then they will call or shoot a text to see if I'm okay.

haha I just said the same exact thing to my dad the other day. Something along the lines of "My life kinda sucks at the moment but at least fall is right around the corner!"
