My week was shitty. I had a coworker take me aside and ask me why I always seem to be upset lately. It’s a combination of adjusting to my new birth control implant (I have fun mood swings with or without HBC) and the fact that while my job function is to literally help my coworkers, none of them ever seem to help me…

Hey there! Hope everyone is well. I got news at my annual gyn visit that has really shaken me. Much more than it should even. I have a 3rd degree prolapse of my bladder due to failure of the vaginal mesh used in my hysterectomy 20 years ago. I didn’t realize it was happening. It’s brought up a lot of painful…

Oh that’s a good one.

Some of you have witnessed the last year of me waiting for my hard work to pay off and for things to actually start moving: work, divorce, moving out of my folks’ place, building a life somewhere rather than floating in limbo.

This week has been a FUCKING ROLLERCOASTER! Everything has started moving at a wild pace…

Shelter Cat Update!

Hi Jezzies - another job question. Have you ever been in a situation where you have an offer for a “kinda neat, but not quite great” job and a job listing for an “ermergersh amazing!” job comes up that you are totally qualified for and REALLY want? And the candidate selection process for that awesome job will take a…

FYI - it’s legal counsel.  Council is usually used to refer to a governmental body of some kind.

I saw The Drowning Pool at some point. Don’t remember the poster. But that is a very nice hand.

Everyone look!!! Our sociopath has canceled a meeting with Denmark because she refused to sell him Greenland.

Oh thank god, now I only have to hang on for about two hundred more years before I can join Star Fleet. (Will be pursuing Command track, obvs.)

My husband is an Air Force officer, he and his coworkers think that while the Space Force is good in theory, the Air Force already does that job and it’s really just going to add to military spending. 

“I can’t even believe that we’re having this conversation. Five years ago, the concept of even talking about this, even 3 years ago, of cutting off aid to Israel because of 2 people that hate Israel and hate Jewish people. I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation. Where has the Democratic Party gone? Where…

1) I’m really fucking pissed about Trump’s antisemitic remarks. Nothing I love more than a nonJew telling me, a Jew, that I am bad because I don’t support him.
2) Space Force is something that if we didn’t have such a dipshit for president might make sense. I’ve heard smarter people than I explain that there will be…

My birthday is around Memorial Day. In my local community, we have a parade that day. I sometimes get a parade for my birthday. On my 3rd birthday, there was a parade and my mom hired a clown. My cousins were young enough they thought the parade was for me. I didn’t find out until years later the clown moonlighted as…

Taking the bar exam next week. Already 100% sure I’m going to fail (no, seriously. This isn’t just nerves. I studied a grand total of like 10 hours this summer because of getting dumped, having to move on short notice, getting backed up on work, etc.). Choosing to look at this exam as a PSAT of sorts before I retake…

Hi Jezzies

For anyone who knows anything about my kid and the history...

Every member of my family firmly believes in telling small children that if you sleep with your feet uncovered then the devil will suck your soul out of your feet at night. I was three when I was told this, which was the standard age for all of my cousins, too. Until I was in college, I was terrified to sleep with my…

Oooh I thought of another one. We convinced my daughter that teleportation totally exists, but it was illegal due to the Great Teleporter Riots of the early 90's (she was born in ‘97). She wasn’t sure whether to believe us, but I let my dad in on the joke and one day Grampa started talking about the Teleporter Riots…

I was born with a heart defect that required surgery at a young age. So like most heart patients, my parents were told to limit my sodium intake*. Problem was, I fucking loved salt and would probably have eaten a handful of it if I were allowed.
