THIS. I learned the hard way that being the “cheerful” employee that cleans the fridge means you are stuck cleaning that damn fridge forever.

Yeah, I felt a savior complex there. That big list wasn’t meant to describe the employee, it was written to highlight the “understanding and kindness” of the manager.

My feeling is that this manager thinks that the employee is so close to being good, but, you know, she’s disadvantaged. So she wants to help her because after 6 years being a good employee, the manager still can’t see past her background and assumes she needs the manager’s sage advice. It’s super condescending.

I remember crap like that was real popular during 1976.

In any controversy involving a dog, the dog always wins. I’m always on the side of the dog. The dog can do whatever he/she wants.

You should see some of the OTHER letters Alison’s had this year. There’s a manager who keeps showing up to his employee’s chemotherapy treatments to talk about non-urgent work matters (and he lies to the clinic and claims to be family), and a boss who required all employees to be tested to be a liver donor for his…

But its ok to wear it as a swimsuit.

She has an history of , if you feel charitable, totally off comments.

I was all aboard the hiddles train after Benedict found True Love (TM) and I couldn’t pretend anymore, but Tom and Tays NO REALLY WE ARE IN LOVE Tour is painful to watch. I feel like if a person who is constantly in the public eye actually finds someone they want to spend time with they guard it and keep it safe…

I’m going to stay agnostic on the Ann of this story — but in general, I think this response is a bit silly. When you’re young, maybe. But it’s pretty reasonable, I think, to say “Look, I want to get married. If you don’t, we’re going to have to part ways.” A *lot* of relationship heartache could probably solved with…

I’m with you. It hurts my brain when I see other white people complaining that black people are creating racial tensions in this country by pointing out racism.

I may or may not have taken way too many drugs at Bonnaroo last year and overemotionally wept when Tears for Fears played it during their set. I can neither confirm nor deny if this happened.

I think McGregor can do a good job here (excluding the overused trailer song, that's not on him). He seems like the type whose able to marshal everyone around him & get the best out of them. He's been around enough great directors (Not you George, you stand over there. Alone.) to understand and respect the craft.

I am a woman. I have a fantasy of being a little newspaper barker boy from the 1920's, wearing a jaunty hat and shouting “Papahs! Get ya papahs right heayah folks! Today’s headline is a real whoppah, see?”

Brits: We don’t see how Americans could be so stupid and shortsighted as to have Trump as a major party candidate!

The Guardian had a great write-up of how immigration fear was the biggest driver of “Leave,” not immigration; in neighborhoods with large percentages of recent immigrants, the majority of British voters voted “Remain.”

Not a chance for me; I’m okay with Clinton, she’s infinitely preferable to Trump, and I realize that neither Stein nor Johnson have a chance of winning (and I don’t know enough about Johnson to know if I find him preferable to Clinton). However, I do the the sense that some of Sanders’ supporters are refusing to vote…

Jesus, please don't do that.

Let’s hope this doesn’t happen in November with Bernie supporters (I’m one of them) voting for Jill Stein as a protest candidate.

I have the free tickets, but I actually paid legit money for Heart tix for this month because Ann Wilson
