Hey, it works. The first time I was the only (mid-20s) female employed with a bunch of (50-ish?) male engineers, someone said, “Damn,” and then immediately apologized to me like I was some wilting flower and they had just slaughtered a pack of puppies. It was AWFUL. (Engineers swear like sailors, whereas I was raised…

I hate that you are correct. Take your star. Pass the vodka.

Not very serious answer because I’m too exhausted to delve into the underdark that is any federal agencies’ book keeping: Probably not. 1) The Orange Shitgibbon and everyone he’s hired are grifting and swindling as fast and as hard as they can, be it running up insane bills for sound proof booths or giving their…

You know, as someone who’s been wearing a F*ck Trump button on the commuter bag for over a year, I’m okay with this. If I end up somewhere that contains people deeply offended by the button, I’m okay with being asked to leave. That way, they’re not offended and I’m not supporting a business that is for things I…

I’ve been loving their work lately. Also, Satan has great graphic design. Who knew?

I’ve suffered through an open plan office. I feel you. However, this asshat has an office with a perfectly serviceable door, so, no, his $43k privacy booth is in no way reasonable. What does he need to discuss that is “too sensitive” to discuss in his private office, with his door closed, and his ridiculously…

Times have been tough on and off my entire adult life (your mileage may vary by region, industry, and definition of “tough.” I’m not trying to one-up anybody). There’s no stockpiling enough canned food for that. Here’s what you can do:

So, Welcome to Night Vale was a documentary from the future? Well, heck, at least the Glow Cloud will be a better leader — it has job experience thanks to its time on the school board.

Story time. A little over a year ago when I worked at a bank, one of the upper level guys put out a whole analysis of the then proposed Trump budget (pre-Trump tax), pointing out that the kinds of economic growth and productivity it was relying on to make the numbers work was: a) greater than the economic growth we’d…

So, chalk it up to a crap translation and English’s inherent bias. Fair enough. I’ll admit that, yes, as a woman, “you’re a man,” immediately rubbed me the wrong way. Possibly because I’m pre-coffee, but the assumption that the audience is always male does wear on one after, oh, a few decades.

You’re missing the main point of the argument though: these young women are illegal immigrants (compounding their other sins of being female and, presumably, brown). If the GOP doesn’t think “nice white ladies” should have a say in what happens to their own bodies, why on earth would they let “subhumans” have a say?…

Some of them are on their way to steal your data...

Local Planned Parenthood has a large crowd, usually being wildly disruptive to people just trying to use the sidewalk. Really charming bunch; they try to shove pamphlets at you and get in your face. I usually loudly thank them for their deep concern for the date of my last cervical exam or how long is left on my IUD.…

Ha! That’s terrible. Our dining halls all sort of varied, but there was “fancy” one. It wasn’t particularly good. Ah, the days before meal plan funds being accepted anywhere else, even crappy fast food.

Yeah, he really hit the trifecta with the monkey parallel, the three-fifths reference, and the jarringly antiquated “white devil” (haven’t heard that outside of a painfully mis-toned “safari” movie from the ‘40s). Even if you can somehow scrape your eyes beyond that, there’s other nuggets, such as, “I assume she’s his…

D’uh, the atlas is hollow. That’s where the gun and drugs are! Security theatre, meet the terror that is how paper can be cut with any sharp implement!

I think I love you, you contrary, fearless genius.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

“Transitive” vs. “intransitive” isn’t the point; it’s the meaning of the two words:

There are things to be said for e-books for aging eyesight:
