Thanks for one of my legitimate LOL moments of the day.  That’s exactly what they do.  The Property Brothers: the twins who price a reno to include the most insanely expensive decor for no good reason thereby adding $50k to the price of the reno.  I mean, what’s another $5,000 on a coffee table?  PBs’ thinks everybody…

You need to be up at 1:00 a.m.  It’s on ALL THE TIME in my world.  

wait...what??? noooooo. I follow her on instagram and don’t see any mention of Trump anywhere.....? Share your sources (so I can keep learning how to do easy fixes to old stuff.)

Don’t forget the bible quotes (from the people who only believe in Republican Jesus(TM)).

I HATE open offices and refuse to work in one.  It’s way too loud and distracting and there’s no such thing as focus time.  

Is this because in the future, we’ll just be barbarically watching the remnants of America from an apocalyptic hellscape?  

Yes to this. Everything will look dated and weird in the not-too-distant future. I have always hated gray paint, and one day, we all will again. Get what you want (including gray walls) if it’s your jam, but don’t fool yourself into thinking it won’t look just as uggo to future people.

Yes, also the wonderful “Sideways”.  Pre-Grey’s Sandra Oh was always showing off her range (and still does).  

Wow, have never seen this side by side. Chilling. Same disorders.

I find myself struggling to come up with new adjectives to describe how horrible he is, and how much lower he goes with every passing week.  There is no bottom for him.  And “garbage person” now feels quaint.  There are not enough bad words.  

ANYONE is better than Dolt 45, including Oprah, and The Rock, and Jessie Tyler Ferguson, and Chriss Teigen, and Regis Philben, and literally any unqualified democrat. I believe that no matter what, an unqualified democrat will still seek counsel from more informed people (i.e. appointing an actual scientist in cabinet…

His dad lived into his 90's, so I’ve just been bracing myself.  

And my biggest pet peeve (if I were ever asked by James Lipton, which is unlikely, as I am not an actress), is pretentiousness. And the vinyl collection mentioned SCREAMED of pretension.

Pro tip - he still likes that music. He just doesn’t admit it to you anymore because of the relentless criticism. It’s less, “I’ve come around to your way of thinking” than it is “I needed a way to end the criticism.”

Wait now, don’t go confusing people with facts there. It doesn’t jibe with the whole “hid the money” narrative in these here parts.

I remember your post!  Don’t forget to dream a new dream for yourself, and know that you can find people you like at other employers, not just the one you have now with the disappointing bonus structure.  we often don’t like change because we like what’s familiar right NOW, but there’s nothing saying that your new job…

Just want to say that these feelings about self-worth are totally normal. I’m old enough to have been laid off twice in life, which I know is not the same as getting fired, but it doesn’t FEEL different, emotionally. It still felt like a huge rejection both times, despite the fact that I wasn’t the only one let go. (I…

I’m just wondering what the rush is in bringing it up now, 4 months in, versus next summer, when you actually have to bid on the assignments?  My vote is waiting to see how this year goes, versus bringing it up now.  You mentioned you’re feeling deeply anxious about everything, so that’s probably motivating your need…

Rooting for you, but just to calm your nerves, the jobs that I had in public service/government/public school settings all took the longest to get back to me. The delay is no indicator of whether or not you got the job, it’s just a function of how slow the internal processes are in these institutions. I would project…
