My first job after college graduation was as a secretary in higher ed. My boss was great, my supervisor was a lunatic who 1) asked me my first day if she needed to teach me how to turn on a computer since she knew they didn’t have many of them in the army (I was a flight programmer for the national guard at that point…

Oh, yes he does! There's a deadspin article on him linked elsewhere

I wonder how annoyed the Reno Aces, the Triple A ball club, will be?

That's part of the reason I left!

Seriously. I worked as a prosecutor in a jurisdiction that was half really poor people, and half rich NFL housewives. I’ll let you guess which half used to reassure me they knew what they were talking about.

OITNB is prison porn masquerading as an intelligent conversation. Its no different from Criminal Minds or Bones - experience this dangerous situation from a white woman’s point of view with a couple of entertaining minorities thrown in, while safe in your own living room!
Also, the number of people who have tried to…

Much easier than you think!

Haha - I was trying to explain to my partner last night how O’s fans feel about the Sox. I HATE the yankees, but with the sox, its more like “If you do well, it sucks for us.”

Exactly. I wish Manny hadn’t lost his head, because its going to hurt us to lose him, with J.J. Hardy already out. I also think he didn’t need to admire his damn pop-out after two brush backs. Its a damn pop-out, Manny.

Thank you! I’m an O’s fan, and while I don’t think Manny should let opposing pitchers get under his skin like that, I laughed my ass off this morning when I read the KC reports about how Manny, and Manny alone, started it. The version I read didn’t include either of the brushbacks, and talked about how it was clearly…

I get not using the team name, if that’s your thing, but why use Skins in the first paragraph? Seems like weird editing. I’m a ‘Skins fan, and I had to open the article to confirm that you mean the Washington football team.

Then you must be lucky and not work in a state where judges are political cronies who don’t like that plaintiffs in protection orders get attorneys. And your judges probably aren’t willing to say it on record during a PFA hearing.

That’s almost word for word what I was taught! (we said “judicial handbook”, though)

JP is definitely below a Judge in every jurisdiction I’ve practiced in.

Starred for the *

I just moved to NE PA, and I’ve learned to avoid the topic. I made the mistake a couple times early on, of making a joke about people who actually backed him or believed he knew nothing, when it came up in convo. Almost every conversation ended with someone giving me the side eye, and walking away. The ones that…

I doubt it. I recently moved to NE PA, and the level of denial is at an all time highwater mark.

You have a lot of faith in Oklahoma.

I caught the reference. I looked down because my dog dropped a bone on my foot, and missed.... The moment

SOMEONE EXPLAIN MELISANDRE TO ME
