I want this, printed on black velvet, over the non-existant mantle in my living room STAT.

I'm imagining stink lines emanating from the roof of their house.

Dread to think what she smelled like ... :(

Make sure that education credit actually works. That's one of the perks advertised by my agency, but it's not funded. I am also going back to school to finish my degree and while my supervisor is cool about me adjusting my schedule as needed or taking time off for an exam or whatever, the tuition compensation that is…

Yeah, for me the low quality of life at the office and low pay is starting to trump the benefits and time off. In five years, we have only had a 2% raise. 2%! They keep adding more and more and more duties to our jobs but don't increase our pay. One of our state legislators compared state workers to welfare recipients…

I think my job would call you out on watching Netflix at work. I'm on Facebook all the time, though, I'm just not an idiot and I silence my computer so no one hears the pings. I don't feel bad about it, either. When I'm finishing work for slackers every fucking month and my numbers are consistently in the top 5 people…

I just want my coworkers to stop talking over the phone to each other. We're not in offices. It's all cubes. Drives me batty. I DO NOT feel bad about getting on Facebook and Jez because of it. Re: FB pinging: do these idiots not know how to mute their computers or what? I mean, what the fuck?

Don't feel bad. I work in state government and feel your pain. We don't even HAVE HR. I contacted them once years ago about a potentially dangerous situation with a coworker and was informed that all they do is handle payroll paperwork.

Wait, how can you be a Belieber of Caleb Owens? Isn't "Belieber" Bieber-specific?

Haha, I do a lot of CADD and that's the ONLY way you can really do it - a white background is SO harsh on the eyes. Granted in CADD there are a lot of font and line colors that aren't white, but... there are a lot that ARE.

See, I'm from Kansas City. We have some DAMN GOOD Italian food here, probably a legacy of the mob but still. Olive Garden to me is like if someone took Cascones or Garozzo's and sucked all the life out of it.

I wonder about that too. The general trend seems to be that parents are a bit more willing to help out with expenses. I'm a Gen X-er from a middle-class family, and I and most of my friends worked as teens because we were expected to support our social lives, pay for gas and car insurance, and save for college. …

If you are going to Bikram for weight loss, you are going for the wrong reasons. When I did Bikram regularly, I ate more healthy, I drank a lot less (I see Hillary has made this mistake of drinking the night before a Bikram class too) and was more active in general. I lost 20 pounds the year that I went to Bikram…

soooo, people should just have unprotected sex and use Plan B every time? $50 per hump adds up pretty fast. and birth control pills are prescribed for all sorts of non-prophylactic purposes, and they can be quite expensive. and IUDs are super pricey. I don't think you've quite thought this through.

Police report the rabbit survived the beating and is recovering.

I mean I'm pretty sure love is just tolerating another creature's farts, forever.

Yeah, I can understand if you are from out of town or something like that. I would not expect my bridesmaids to go to every one and bring a gift though!

I do have that! But I mean it lists the name of the author and the book cover and after you get it you have some time to return if there has been a mistake. Maybe I exaggerated on the whole day but definitely about an hour. Man I love my kindle.

Funny. I campaigned for Dukasis in elementary school because I thought he was better looking. Kids are dumb.

I don't consider myself a millennial, I consider myself Cold Y. I don't really think of myself as part of the wider Y generation. There are too many historical, political, and cultural gaps between myself and individuals just a few years younger. However...
