Depends on the title. And yeah, you can't choose which union to represent you. It's a horrible mess of a system, really. :(

I work for the government. There's a bunch of different unions. Depending on your civil service title, a different union negotiates your benefits.

I had a promotion last year at work, for more than a 20% increase on my salary before then. Which sounded awesome.

That's why I never talk to females. WHO NEEDS 'EM, ANYWAY!?

Oh man, I've tried mirroring before. Then I start wondering, "What if they know I'm mirroring? Is this actually sociopathic behavior?"

Oi. The problem with eye contact for me is that I also start to feel really self-conscious about it. Then I start thinking about eye contact etiquette more than the actual conversation.

As a dancer, competitions are a huge part of my particular hobby. Lately I've found myself getting competition fatigue, though. There seems to be a comp at every event I attend, even the smallest and most-local ones.

My partner and I just hit up Disney and Universal in Florida this past summer, just us, no children, and on two days we went with a friend (who works for Disney). I'd imagine this would be harder to do with children who want to go and see everything, but we planned our days out in advance. We talked about which rides…

Oh interesting! Keep me updated. Mind replying to this again if the experiment is successful?

I use a French press too. I leave it at room temp overnight (at least 12 hours). The last couple batches I've made have come out pretty tasty, even using an older, less-fresh grind. There's still maybe a millimeter or two of sludge at the bottom, but that's easy to avoid.

But where ELSE can I go to complain?

I know, it's horrible! I was planning on buying ice cream later today!

... I knew I should've gotten a Chromecast when it was on sale.

The Art of Manliness podcast has been filling the Lifehacker podcast-shaped hole in my life. I'm sort of wishing that you guys would pop up on it one day.

Adam's legacy in my life: my partner and I refer to pooping as "flossing" now. I will miss you on Lifehacker!

Whose idea was it to use the Lego pictures? Whoever you are, you're the best.

Kinda-sorta. I'm also a dancer in addition to what I do for a living and my coworkers know that I teach and compete. I've even put on a performance or two at work before for holiday parties. I also have to inform my boss whenever I'm going on vacation, which is usually for dance purposes. My coworkers basically all…

Eye contact has always been weird for me, and I don't have ADHD, nor am I that particularly shy. I don't think I've ever been able to figure out what an appropriate length of time to make eye contact is, or what situations to do it in. Making eye contact feels weirdly confrontational to me, and I know it shouldn't.

I hate you so much. I mean me. I mean ... I?

Weird. I've lately tried to stop doing just this because it made me feel weird talking to myself in not-first-person, but that's probably because I just became super-conscious of it?
