This American Life recently did an episode that featured the story of a woman who was circumcised as a child. It’s really wonderful and worth a listen: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives…

ESPECIALLY “Now and Then.” If that movie is on TV I will sit my ass down and watch it, even if there are only 5 minutes left. Peak Devon Sawa + Christina Ricci being her badass self + the occult + Nancy Sinatra and the Archies music??

DU JOUR MEANS SEATBELTS!

Ok, but 2gether 4life. (Does anyone else remember MTV’s 2gether? Or am I too much of an old for it to resonate with this audience?) It was so rad, they actually opened shows for Britney Spears in character.

Scene: Me and my 4 year old son playing Star Wars yesterday. I was apparently Kylo Ren and he was “An Evil Jedi”

Very with the times (Costco, so in right now!), durable, and insulated to keep your 5 lb. bag of individually wrapped salmon fillets frozen for a couple hours!

FINALLY. I’ve been craving a mint julep.

You should ALWAYS ask for more salary (think an additional 5-10k). They won’t like you any less if they’ve already decided that you’re the right fit. If they can’t…

Yes, and more importantly, I negotiated much more aggressively for Vacation time. I’m at a life point where that affects quality of life more than a couple of extra thousand dollars per year, so I put my employer through a rather rigorous bidding process. (I was fortunate to have two offers on the table, so there was…

Yup. They offered at a decent price. I came back with a few caveats on start time, and a few other questions, with the addendum that all the questions went away at $5000 more. They came back at my price and said yes. Don’t forget you can negotiate things that aren’t salary! Including: start time, Initial PTO, Benefit…

Except audible doesn’t give you rectal damage. Unless you’re listening to Rush Limbaugh.
