I love that the dude in the back can't help but bop his head. He didn't get the memo to stay still. 

If they were married in New York, gay marriage was legal earlier than 2015. I don’t know how that would impact trying to stay in the country though.

All very good points! Hopefully this new classification can lead to more research and recommendations on how to tackle this, because having so many people feeling this way is not productive. I will say though that you seem to be describing compartmentalization instead of mental distancing. I think the mental distance…

I hope you are able to navigate through this and find effective self-care to cope. 

Good points! Though I don’t believe that our current economic/political system gives any incentive to employers to want to change or help burnout, nor for politicians to take steps towards it either. GladAskance made a very good point below you, that employees will always need employers more than employers need…

You are right, there are people who love their job/career and still experience burnout. I imagine things like therapy are much more effective for that population.

Service work is excruciatingly hard & isn’t given the respect it deserves. The companies involved do not make it easy for their workers and create scenarios that you described above that are infuriating and reduce people to numbers. I hope you can find something else that has benefits and isn’t so damaging to your…

I hope you're able to find something soon and heal. Hang in there

It is one of my favorite sides! Canned green beans over frozen though. XD you have to mix some of the crunchy onions inside as well, not just put them on top! 

It's pretty rich to call them out for craving the spotlight and then stand there holding it. 

Why are you so scared of truth bombs? 

No one cares about your stupid fucking boner.

I use cooksmarts because I’m terrible at thinking up things to cook. They provide weekly recipes/grocery lists and you just shop/cook. I LOVE it. I don’t think I’ve disliked a single recipe, they give tons of variety and it’s all balanced & healthy. Plus you can try it out free w/out a credit card. (I gush over them,…

Until we live in a perfect world, having these conversations is integral to change. Commenters trying to say that she should have just married someone flawless doesn’t help anything or anyone. If we want things to change, we have to believe that people are capable of change and act accordingly. 

Only two hours til this is in my mailbox. Can’t wait!

I was wondering the same thing!

Don’t know if anyone is still around or even checking the greys...
