This is going to be very personal and pretty painful for me to confess, but I think I should.

Thank you. I needed this. You're one of the good ones. Truly.

Teaching is a highly stressful job that never ends. Not only do you deal with students who are often times awful, you deal with their parents who taught them to behave this way. Add in an administration/school district that isn't always on your side and I understand why teaching is such a difficult profession.

um its funny how internet commenters cannot words and then expect an actual response despite never ever ever ever ever using a comma once haha lulz jk but not really jk this entire chain makes you look really goddamn stupid.

Umm.. PUBERTY? You needed to survey 7,000 kids to know that kids get hard with puberty and all the physical and emotional changes around it? Not to mention the transition out of elementary school to middle school?

I was lucky enough that my old job gave me $ in an FSA for medical expenses, and I used part of that one year to get some really great prescription sunglasses. Now I can't go back; I'm in love with them. I don't need glasses normally (unless I am super tired) but those RX Ray Bans are the bomb. I will just have to

I have blue eyes as well (medium to dark) but I totally feel you. Also, going outside w/o sunglasses is basically impossible for us light-eyed folk.

My ex had a gyno whose last name was Kuntz.

I told mine I'd take his if it was Cheeseworth. It's not Cheeseworth though so he's SOL.

drugstores sell an "anti-blister" stick, but it doesn't work any better than anti-perspirant, and costs twice as much. Also useful if you've got thunder thigh issues. lol

One aspect not many people are not discussing is the possible Comcast/Time Warner merger. If that is approved, we are really screwed. Don't forgot, Comcast also owns NBC/Universal. Plenty of the arguments for the proposed rules go out of the window as soon as you realize its one company controlling the pipes and the

Well, I've always been a fan of using the word miming rather than lip-syncing when talking about particularly exaggerated performances. I think miming connotes the overly-gestural. If only there were a way to get across the specific artificiality of the lip movements, though...

I am trying to watch this at my desk, but by 1:17 I was all ready grinning too much to continue in office hours. Oh Paul, the things you do to me!

Am I alone in my unfounded distaste for Lea Michelle? Something about her just—peeves me.

Elvis Schmoulianoff is credited as the model as well. I found this curious and did some googling to confirm—she is a lady called Elvis.

First of all, screw you - I did the best I could at the time. This was a TA in my department, a very small department, and I was overwhelmed and scared. While I admire this young woman's courage, just because I was incapable of doing the same at the time does not mean that I in anyway hold any responsibility. That is
