Yay! I second your comment - Tracy's article really did help me remember why I'd like to stay childless by choice. It is a HUGE commitment and, unless I quit my job (which is very, very unlikely), I don't have my stuff together enough to remember everyone's schedules (mine, my husband's, the kid's, the dog's, etc.)

YES!! This just happened to me yesterday. So annoying! Believe me, sir, I'd love to not be in this line, too, but unfortunately my pockets are a joke.

I loved those days. Fashion, smashion. I'm all about functionality! If I could wear dude clothes all the time, I WOULD. Too bad I'm like a foot smaller than all men, so all their pants are too long. Dilemmas... hem time!

Hey, that's good to know! Thank you! I guess I have to just do it then :) Thanks again!

Ugh, how long does that process take? I heard if you contact a collections agency, that can restart the process all over again.

Hahaha yes... so pathetic!

Wtf is wrong with someone, someone working no less, that they think it's okay to introduce ANY new employee, male or female, to the storage-aka-'rape' room?! Seriously, who would find that funny??? Male colleagues of mine would NEVER find that joke funny - they'd probably say something too. Bet they wouldn't get fired

Where is she going?! Ugh this is what I get for giving up on Jez because of the comments nonsense. I am never going to find out!

I just love how much and for how long he freaked out. The block feature definitely comes in handy, but for this guy... SOOO glad it's on the internet now! That one really takes the cake. What a weirdo!

I have not read that book yet, but I second you on EWarren being a National Treasure.

Do it!! Or a book club... on second thought, book review. Definitely book review.

I think this is a great point that people fail to consider. Right now I have a Roth IRA, but I look forward to taking my savings soon and starting a traditional IRA just to hedge those bets.

You got a retail job with an hour break?? Daaaaamn! I was lucky to get 15 minutes to run to Wetzel's Pretzels. I still have flashbacks whenever I smell Wetzel's... haha. 1 hour lunches for retail sounds magical!

I really hope starred commenters get in there and star some comments! I'll definitely be re-relegated back to the grays with this new system, which is kind of a bummer. One of the reasons I left Jez for a while was because I wasn't getting any responses for the comments I left, usually because I'm not one of the first

Oh I totally agree with you! I sucked at retail, but it's not like people out there shopping are all wonderful either (all people, regardless of language spoken). By the way, not being rude, but have you worked retail? Sometimes people weren't looking for help so much as they had switched the clearance tags with the

I have to agree with you, to a degree. I look white but speak Spanish, and when I worked retail, sometimes I just pretended not to speak Spanish because I was (leaving to go on break/leaving in general/tired of this ish/being a general bratty person).

Yayyy glad I'm not the only one who mentioned not reading it at work. Nope, haven't done it because of all the disgusting gifs posted. Unfortunately, it probably doesn't hurt Denton as much as we'd like. He probably gives 0 f's.

Dude, I love your writing, for real. But I WILL NOT read at work because of these GIFs, because I absolutely will get fired. And they do check our computers, trust me.

Yeah it actually sounds super shitty to work for Jez. I used to idealize it too. But I suppose fewer women writers is good, amirite?! Woohoo boys club!

Let's boycott!! Woohoo!! No but seriously, what can we do? I suppose if we all stop reading... should we start a Twitter hashtag for boycotting?
