Ha, I didn’t even catch that.

*pours one out*

I’m going to be very blunt, your brother sounds like a massive asshole. Nearly 40, totally irresponsible, a cheater and still wants your parents to finance his life. I wouldn’t say a word of congratulations until he properly tells you about his engagement. In the real world, people tell family in person or over the…

Scabies sound awful :(

Office Politics 101

1 - Praise and welcome any newcomers. Make them feel part of the team.
2 - Ask them to take on responsibilities that they aren’t really prepared for.
3 - Eviscerate them.

Now, start counting down the days until your annual review. Your supervisor will say something cryptic about “losing that spark”.

I…

I don’t have advice, just support — I’m in a similar boat. (relatively) fresh lawyer, did a lot of theater in high school, was a college tour guide, etc. zero nerves speaking in front of a crowd, and also have a little bit of an impulsive streak... so it doesn’t occur to me to be a wallflower in meetings where I’m the…

I’m staying positive and hoping there’s still a chance I coukd get it, they did mention that they were also looking to add a position that would support the job I applied for, so hopefully the internal people have less experience and will get the support job.

You’re right, I do need to look at the remainder of the feedback, no matter how painful. It can't ALL be bad.

fuck attorneys (not you) and their egotistical bullshit mind-games. Here’s my hyperemotional analysis (bc i’m seriously pissed off for you rn):

Our 19yo daughter is home from college for the weekend. She is studying sustainable agriculture and food production. She brought home fresh goat milk from the college farm, and is teaching us to make Chèvre. Our little kiddo is becoming a strong, smart, feisty woman and it just makes us bust with pride. Tomorrow she…

BOOO! I hate internal job people! In teaching, they post shit all the time for stuff like that because they “have” to, but then you have no idea if they have already promised it to another person and it sucks. Do you know if you got it, or if maybe they were just letting you know? I hope you get it!!!!!

PSA to people like me who will google ‘Nanking’ - the Wikipedia page has some pretty graphic imagery of mutilated female bodies. Based on everything I did know about WW2 brutality against women, I expected that from a more detailed source but wasn’t prepared to see it on Wikipedia. So just a warning to others.

dandilyn likes to say “Starbucks” instead of online. I keep telling him that while technically true, it’s more embarrassing.

I stopped studying to read this. Am deeply disappointed.

I thought the article was about the racial issues underlying the false accusations of rape made against black men, like the first several paragraphs... But then a few sentences later, it’s just a retelling of two black women falsely accusing white men of rape... Did I miss something, or is this just all the f over the…

“It’s been a seven year nightmare for me and my family”, you know, none of whom died. “I’m truly sorry for what happened”, which I won’t take responsibility for or admit guilt for, despite the fact that, DUH, it’s actually my fault.

Best part about growing old and unattractive is that if anyone shows any romantic interest in you, you KNOW it’s becsuse of your personality. Which is nice. I’ve worked hard at being a good person, it’s nice when others notice. Unlike my boobs or face or whatever. They just happened, took no effort and I didn’t choose…

At age 30 I’m firmly on the shelf now in terms of dating. If this was the Regency, I would be the maiden aunt and chaperone. Part of me is almost relieved, to be honest. Dating is miserable and marriage isn’t the fast track to happiness.

No, in high school, MCLB is definitely the way to go. Nobody ever lost the game of life for not having a significant other in high school.

I feel like if I had MORE confidence and maybe less boyfriend when I was younger I would have had a much more productive life.
