Can I just say that I hate Piper's character in the show, and I'm not entirely sure that I like real life Piper any more ...

I'm 29, and I became unemployed in October of 2012 and started a new job on June 3, 2013. For unemployment I had to document every job I applied for, which it turns out was 84 jobs. I got the ONE job offer, which of course I accepted. On paper I was the ideal candidate for every gig, lovely resume, excellent…

Never change.

So I went to this third wave thing, which in itself was a mistake, but I asked a question which stumped most of the women there and I wanted to see in anyone here could come up with a more compelling answer. Why do white women talk about their 80 cents to the dollar till they are blue in the face, but they never bring…

Ugh - that's the worst. I've been in that position a lot and haven't found anything yet. But if it helps, a friend of mine had the same thing - she kept making it to last round interviews and being told she was one of 2 or 3 people being considered - and she finally got a job a few months back and it's perfect for her…

Do you think you were only eating 800 calories every day before you started doing myfitnesspal? Because if you were, you should have been losing weight already. If not, then maybe there's a difference between your "diet" foods and your normal foods and maybe you can add a few of those back in. I'm not a nutritionist…

Job hunting is a stressful process for sure. The emotional fatigue you're feeling is so normal. I've been through it and so many people I know have gone through it. And eventually we find opportunities that work out, maybe later than expected or different than expected (but often exactly what we expected too). One…

My husband is starting a new job tomorrow after about two and half/three months of being out of work. There were a number of close calls before he found something. And no real feedback about why. It was brutal for him as he came up from nothing and has a lot of his identity vested in work. I know it sucks and is…

I'm young and looking for work right now, too. It's going to be okay. The economy can't stay like this forever, right? It sounds like you are on the right track since you keep getting interviews, you just need to keep at it. Good luck!

Do you think he was purposely keeping you on the back burner to have someone to fall back on in case plan A didn't work out? Be careful with this one.

Smiling on the NYC subway might be considered creepy

YOU GUYZZZZ!!!!!! I literally just submitted my M.A. thesis to the board of examiners. It's all over - a year of prep, 3 months of field research, 2 months of writing, and half a week of editing, crying, and drinking various liquors out of bottles.

He literally is an MRA dude who says that people oppress white men. You won't get a lot out of this conversation.

I think you are dumb.

Possible other solution to the bedbug problem: your friend shows up ass naked with only a toothbrush in tow. They must requisition clothes on site from whatever is available. None of their other personal possessions are allowed to make the journey with them. It's up to you if you want to hit them with the delouser and…

btw, that is not what "begging the question" means.

Srsly. I didn't have that bad of an infestation (according to the very nice exterminator who listened to my crazy panic for 20 minutes before turning my bedroom into a Superfund site) and I about gave myself PTSD. I'm now super anal about hotel rooms, and only buy second hand things I can boil (srsly— no furniture,…

I'm so not a fan of Nick Cannon. His ego is WAY too big for the limited talent he has, which has been tepidly featured in such highbrow projects as Wilin' Out (comedy for mouth-breathing troglodytes), Mr. Mariah Carey, and That Show He Hosts and Also Sometimes Makes Funny Faces at the Camera.

Not as much as the ensuing bedbug hell :(

This makes me vaguely nostalgic about the time I had to unload an old mattress and advertised it on Craigslist as having "a 5'6" dent on it from where current owner sleeps" and "light smell of Icy Hot due to current owner's back problems."
