I’ve been lucky to work with bosses who prioritize and relish their time off and who encourage their team to do the same. We all work hard and work overtime when we need to, but we can also log off and stay offline without guilt.

My apartment has a fantastic view for watching the world go by, and I frequently just…

“When we ask each other on Monday, ‘How was your weekend,’ nobody says, ‘I tried to do as little as possible.’ That’s not sexy.”

“It’s a mostly a very good list of nominees.”

I will say I don’t get a bad vibe off him at all, although we all know that means nothing. He reminds me of guys I’ve know who are really funny in a way that covers up insecurities, those guys tend not to creep b/c they have a very shy side with dating. They tend to end up dating horrible crazy women lol. But that…

I was in a group discussing the #MeToo movement, and a guy asked what he could do. Someone told him to stop being silent when he saw or heard bullshit from other guys. I said, “Yeah, you play the ‘humorless bitch’ once in a while so that a woman doesn’t have to do it and be told that she’s the only one there with a…

You sounds like you’re very in tune with both your personality style and needs AND your kids’. Congratulations! Sometimes I think parent/child conflicts are a result of parents being unable (or too exhausted) to recognize these things and respond appropriately.

USA Gymnastics would be well served to bring her into the organization, not just as some PR stunt but as an athlete advocate or ombudsman. Her strength, her love of the sport and her obvious desire to rectify this awful situation would certainly be an asset.

“I’m an adult, and I’m listening, and I’m sorry it took this long.”

That’s great! Would you like to donate that extra week of vacation to my husband, whose “well enough” co-worker gifted him with the flu last month? He hasn’t worked in 5 weeks what with the flu, the subsequent pneumonia, and the hospitalization that followed that. My husband does have an office with a door that he…

I am generally for rolling sick days into vacation but you have illustrated my chief complaint of the practice. Since you think of these days as your “Vacation” you (admittedly) don’t take them as intended when you are ill.

In my experience, gate checking means the bag is waiting on the jet bridge at destination and I don’t have to go to baggage claim.

I think a lot of places have policies like this which is one of the reasons people come in. The other being that they believe they’re too important to be out of the office (Protip: you aren’t).

It’s cool that you bring this up in the context of this piece because the Olympics are such a great example of people quickly and efficiently being placed into easily digestible narrative packages.

if you haven’t seen the move (I recommend it. Very enjoyable and well done) the story there is that the plan, which Tonya was aware of, was the send death threats to the Tony Kent Arena to get Nancy to drop out of Nationals. This is after Tonya had to drop out of a competition due to a death threat.

I agree, though I’m not as convinced as you she “wasn’t involved in the attack”.

A decent amount, since she wasn’t involved in the attack and got dragged through the mud for it because of classism and lookism. She became a national joke because of her abusive husband and we all owe her an apology.

I don’t think that’s accurate, unfortunately. She says in the article:

I read this totally differently - I thought she was basically saying, I wanted to have casual sex with him, but only after I calmed down, and after he did something to assure me he noticed and cared about about my boundaries. After he did that I would feel safe enough to have the casual sex I wanted to have with him,…

Here is where I’ll probably get flamed, but there were so many aspects of her story that sounded unrealistically entitled and just, frankly, willfully unaware. Grace describes going BACK to this man who had just gone down to her, and FULLY NAKED, “...sat down on the floor next to Ansari, who sat on the couch, she…

Words can have different meanings depending on the context. In one context “chill” is a euphemism ie. “let’s go back to my/your place and... you know” and in the other it means slow down, chill out, etc.
