Aww! He’s adorable! And you did such a great thing. Congrats!!

I understand how you feel, it’s been the same for me. Just reading your comment gets me teary. My dad died a little over six months ago, and it’s been awful. I alternate between the same two feelings as you, a bottomless sadness and anger that he’s gone. He was an amazing person. I’m sorry you’re going through the

I’m right there with you. :-( Sending hugs.

I have been obsessively reading all of Donna Tartt’s books. Sadly, there are only three, but they are all long. Just finished The Secret History (blew through it because I could not stop reading) and now am on The Little Friend. It’s so descriptive, beautifully written and eerie. She is amazing. Haven’t blown through

I agree with you, I don’t think it was the best idea to bring that up even if that wasn’t how I meant it at all. However, she had been pretty aggressive before that point. And regardless, I don’t think I deserved to be treated that way for the rest of the interview.

Ugh. I can’t believe hiring managers can somehow think it would be helpful to talk to a potential employee like that. All it does is create a strained environment. That sounds like good advice- I wish I had been more understanding of how angry and uncomfortable I was feeling and could have just left too, but I was too

Woah! Love it!!

That’s a really good point. I didn’t think of the comment being interpreted as a sucking-up point at all, which is my bad. Maybe she did interpret that poorly and turn it around on me. Still a pretty shitty thing to do to someone though. Good point- I do feel like I can handle anything after that.

Jesus. That just seems cruel, as if job interviews weren’t nerve-racking enough. And to treat veterans like that. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

I can definitely relate. In my early 20s, it felt like making friends was so much easier. Now I’ve had to work much harder to find people. I’ve had some success with Meetup. The best for me have been activity-related, and not too huge, which takes some of the pressure off to make small-talk and share some kind of

Hi, fellow Jezzies! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! I have been watching the new season of Orange is the New Black after a nice day of swimming and grilling. I have a job interview question.
Have any of you experienced aggressive interviewers before? I have been on several job interviews before, but I went

Legally Blonde and Clueless!

This is my first father’s day without my dad too, so I know how you feel. I’m planning on doing something that he enjoyed doing, and going for a walk in nature. I’ve also accepted that I might just end up spending the whole day in bed crying because it’s too unbearable. I’m also echoing Mouthface’s sentiments and

Wow! Gorgeous!

Woah. What sorcery is this!? Seriously, that is amazing!

I like watching different YouTube videos for ideas about work-outs-even if it’s just about how to use the different weight machines and what muscles are being worked. I also promised myself that I would just explore at the gym and try different machines and see what I liked without putting too much pressure on myself.

I LOVED Bad Feminist- so relatable, and so well-written. There were also some hilarious stories too, which broke up some of the heavier topics nicely. I want to read her latest book, Hunger, next. Enjoy!

Ahh! She looks so happy. Thanks for sharing :-)

Soo precious! Congratulations!

This makes my heart happy
