My question for you and doodle developer (in this comment section - both managers of IT teams) - is, what do you consider the “thankless” tasks? I am a woman who worked in tech for more than a decade, and the tasks most shifted onto women weren’t what managers thought were thankless (i.e. “no one likes pouring through…

Amen to all of this. When people overwork, they destroy things for others. I remember when I was at said tech company, and people were answering non-essential e-mails that were not time sensitive on holidays and in the middle of the night and then soon expected everyone to tow that same line. I was all like, “No, I…

I LOVE Jared and think he’s the star of EVERY season!! lol In Season 1, when he gets stuck in that car and ends up on that private island....lol  And my fave, when he gets zero sleep and polls people on the street about what Pied Piper could do.  

I am not the most fashionable person in the world, but to me, I don’t see how these look any different than a Dansko heel (which I love.) They legitimately look attractive to me. (I have injuries that require that I wear expensive, very comfortable shoes, though. So I’m not comparing apples to apples here.)

For the 1,000,000th year in a row - somehow women are held responsible for what a man does to them. The disgust from the education system was misplaced and unfair, and should have been directed towards the abuser/ex. The fact that this kind of thing keeps happening day after day after day after year after year after…

It’s interesting how when we dig through the memories of J.Lo’s love life, it goes no further than Marc Anthony. Does no one remember the Puff Daddy years? The horrible Bennifer years after that? There’s so much to remember! (The Bennifer years made me HATE all tabloids. Kardashian-sized coverage, pre-Kardashians).

I actually worked in tech for more than a decade so I found the show hysterically funny and accurate. (Anyone who works in tech and tells you that things are greatly exaggerated on that show is full of shit.) Much of the humor for ME came from the digs AT Silicon Valley BY casting males and showcasing the many biases…

I really didn’t love this last season. The only hilarious bit was the thinly veiled shade at Marrisa Mayer (former yahoo CEO), with Laurie Bream’s (spoiler) pregnancy/delivery in the first episode and her insistence that she needed almost zero time off. (Note: not making fun of women with ambition, but rather, the…

No. Miller left on his own accord, leaving the writers in a lurch. They were very unhappy to have (his character) exit. He had a story line they were pursuing, and instead he was like, “byeeeeee!”

Ever since American Media bought US Weekly, I can’t believe anything they say. I know this sounds ridiculous re: a tabloid. But I have to say it was much more reliable than those b.s. stories in HELLO and InTouch Weekly. Almost - but not quite - People-ish in fact checking. Now it’s just made up trash constantly.

I know a former high school friend who does not have good privacy controls on her fb account. So even though we’re not friends on fb, I see her posts whenever she comments in some public area (like local groups - we physically live near each other). Anyhow, whenever she ends up publicly saying some kind of pro-Dump…

Also have hypothyroidism, and after finally getting treatment (doctors kept ignoring me at first, grrrrrrrrrrr), I remember my first week on thyroid meds.  Your homemade energy bars and laundry situation made me lol only because I can relate.  My first week on thyroid meds made me feel like Super Woman.  I was like,…

Yes, as mentioned above, I also have hypothyroidism, and pre-treatment, I could sleep for hours upon hours upon hours.  Thyroid pills will help with depression and energy for sure.  

I’m pretty irritated with that intern. Let me rephrase: I’m pretty fucking irritated with that fucking intern. There is a loooooooooooooooong history of doctors not taking female patients’ concerns seriously, and this chucklehead falls right into that category. While I’m glad he “changed his tune” when senior doctors…

Oh sure, because that’s all it takes to not get shot - just stop arguing with the gun holder. It always works. People who wave guns around are always reasonable and ready to put down their arms as soon as the other person backs away. Yep.

Amen. And the “I thought fireworks were gunfire” defense is some serious bullshit. Even when there is actual gunfire going on (i.e. Vegas shooting, Pulse Nightclub, the Bataclan), people’s first instinct is fireworks, not guns.  Look up every news story about each of those events and you’ll see that. Even the kids…

It’s always such a crap fest when an executive makes decisions about products he knows little about. That always ends well. Pfffft. And usually, the experimenting they do that eventually tanks the company, has no impact on their payout, so why not diddle around a little bit? Ugh.

Eh, I’m not sorry the break-up happened with the ex-boyfriend. I mean, I’m very very happily married now to an awesome man who is aligned with me in all the right ways, including politically. The college boyfriend would not have been a match anyway, but it’s sad that another republican has been added to our society. I…

I know....right? I can’t even imagine. I think my former high school friend got married to a pretty republican dude, and then just went downhill from there. He listened to the repugnant Rush Limbaugh and watched Faux News, and it seems his entire family was also this way - so years of Faux News exposure does what it’s…

Oh thank goodness!  The FMLA is good, but not near as good as your situation there.  Relieved for you.  I used to have a job that let me work from home, (I have a different job now), and it was a huge blessing during many life events (death of a family member, and when I had a medical issue.)  Glad that at least the…
