There’s an entire universe of shoes between sneakers and heels. How could you not find shoes? Loafers (assuming you were in pants) would work. Good ballet flats can be quite comfy. Dressy espadrilles in the summer. Booties (I hate them, but they are still popular.) That’s just off the top of my head.

Which makes it even less surprising that he cheated. (Assuming this is real, which it probably isn’t.)

Yes. To all of this. If you find work you love to do, you are very lucky. A little easier to find work and learn to love it — and if you can’t look for different work.

I do something similar. When I’m shopping online, unless I really truly need it right away I put it in my cart and the close the window. Half the time, by the time I get the reminder email from the store I’m like, “Nah. I don’t really need that” or I’ve found a better price elsewhere. If not, I can buy without guilt.

He should probably see a derm about collagen replenishment for that thin skin. ;)

He made this one of the weirdest Gawker Media threads I have seen — which is saying something. Who could have imagined a controversial face washing post was a thing?

Wow. This is pretty amazing.

Yes. That is precisely what I said, that I am the only person in the world who has ever gone to a dermatologist.

Also, I’ve literally never had a term try to sell me something. Never.

I couldn’t work up that much energy over what someone else uses to wash their face if you literally paid me to do it.

Also worth noting that most men (in my experience) have skin in pretty bad shape because they don’t think about the kind of cleansers they use, moisturizer, etc. Whereas most women have really good skin, barring actual dermatological disorders.

Same. Clearly this means you and I are more highly evolved or something.

I wasn’t thinking, but MassComments nailed it: They are southern Italian via South Philly. So, yeah.

Salute is also wrong unless my 100% Italian in-laws have been saying it wrong. (Frankly, that’s possible.)

I am so with you. He physically repulses me.

It totally can be worth it in the long run to not get a job over fit issues — although it doesn’t always feel like that at the time.

If you’re the second choice that often, you’re clearly presenting yourself well. Melanie’s advice is good, but keep in mind sometimes good candidates don’t get the job for reasons that have little to do with them (the other guy works cheaper, has more experience, lives closer, went to the same school as the boss,…

Exactly. That’s not a gay joke. That’s a “dudes act like children” joke.

I’d protest me so hard.

Not generally!
