Sitting for hours can exacerbate back/neck issues —> standing desk.

I lost it when I saw the guy with the banana but they still did great.

A friend of the family (I adore her, she’s about 75 and she’s just fierce) was the sole dissenting voice on the jury of a trial involving a refugee teen who stabbed someone - she refused to accept they did it entirely unprovoked, despite all attempts of the prosecution to paint the kid as a horrible delinquent who…

I skipped everything after seeing that science board just to rush to the comments to see if anyone else lost it over that thing. They event used construction paper as a drop shadow background. Why? How?

Oh no way, I can’t believe it didn’t work out for her. That’s so random.

I’d say “at least this might convince other girls who are thinking of joining ISIS that it’s a truly terrible idea.” But not really. If the beheading videos and terrorist attacks on innocents made you root for ISIS, you are probably the sort of person who thinks “well, clearly that girl must have done something wrong,…

THIS! my special ladyfriend was watching and I laughed at this. How is this acceptable in 2015? Does Powerpoint not exist in this universe? If someone brought bristol board in to a presentation I was attending I’d immediatly start looking at my phone to avoid eye contact

Let’s call it “12 Nice Women”. One woman says she thinks the accused is guilty and, even though all the other women disagree, they all say he’s guilty because they want to avoid conflict.

With all the cash they rake in, they should at least get a SMART Board. I work on mass market garment production and would be fucking embarrassed to show some rinkydink presentation like that.

i was trying to find a perfect gif response for this but then found chocolat gifs and got sucked into to a juliette binoche wormhole

Greasy hair pulled back in a ponytail? Check

Fine I wouldn’t have you as a friend anyway!1!!!!!1

You’d be exhaused too if you had to sit next to the black hole that is Steve Doocy.

She looked utterly exhausted anytime I saw her on this program, even with the lighting and even fuller face of makeup. I don’t think she could handle the early hours and heavier (snort) workload (snort snort) of Fox News compared to how easy she had it on The View.

So at first I just read “Tragedy Strikes Elisabeth Hasselbeck” and my immediate, knee-jerk reaction makes me think I’m probably going to hell.

Even if the OP’s workplace is like that, it’s no excuse for being made to feel too guilty to take needed rest time. Any workplace that can’t function in the short term like that or relies too heavily on a handful of people has serious failings at management. And I say that as somewhere that has worked in several…

I was having this exact thought by the fourth time I read it, and by the sixth, it had lost all meaning.

That’s brilliant. We’ve hired an intern in our middle school; while he teaches two classes, he is also available to help out if someone’s out sick.

Both. One of the perks about working for the big, bad govt. :)

Dude. I live in Chicago and occasionally read Missed Connections for fun and about a year ago I found one about me. It was from a waiter who had served me and a friend a few days before. It was specific enough that I knew it was me and crazy enough that I responded to it. And it was probably one of the WORST dates I…
