What kind of stuff is happening with your students? There are plenty of teachers on Jezebel, perhaps one might have some advice? I went to school for education but don't have scads of experience.

I am sorry for your loss. You did NOT betray her trust, you did a very kind and unselfish thing for a creature in pain.

Obviously if you're in a graduate program you're stressed and your time is precious, but if you can find a little bit of time to do some volunteer work at, say, an animal shelter or Boys and Girls club you will feel so much better about stuff. I know it worked for me. It was a way to get out of the house, get out of…

My God, yes. Those "where were all these teachers when I was a student?!" type comments are disgusting. I can't imagine how terrible those thoughtless fools make victims feel.

Wow. That's ridiculous! Maybe if they don't want you to work part-time jobs they should pay you more for your freelancing...everyone has bills, do they not understand that?!

"I just don't want to talk about babies or clothes or makeup or dating or diets or weddings."

Caffeine?! Caffeine. Seriously caffeine. You fucking people.

And that is why I qualified it with "certain jobs in certain industries." I don't have a "near mystical belief in the importance of wealth and the Ivy League," but I can assure you that many people who work (and hire) on Wall Street DO.

Snip: "A friend leaned over and said, "Do you think it's a good idea to put that on your resume?" In their eyes, it was better to list no work experience than to list this "lowly" position."

At least it's just frosted, and not filled with jelly or that custardy stuff? I guess?

"My voice will definitely be heard." Sure thing, hon. If there's one group in this country that's always struggled to make its voice heard, it's the fundamentalist Christians. . .(rolls eyes)

Oh Jesus, my in-laws make a fucking big deal of McDonald's senior coffee too. I don't know how many times I've heard them rattle off what a great bargain it is. Only they order decaf. What is the point of ordering decaf?

I assume this is just regular coffee they're giving away, and not any of their premium coffee drinks? Probably not worth it. An Egg McMuffin was my go-to hangover cure in college, but I ordered one a few months ago and I felt incredibly ill afterwards.

And don't forget, national news would be running the story 24/7. Poor baby, I hope she's alive, but damn, if the guy was buying contractor trash bags. . .

You're fucking gross pal.

I would probably have less of a problem with this if it were, say, a black woman writing the book. But Donald McCaig (not McCraig, btw) is an older white gentleman. I'll withhold judgement until the book comes out, but I'm skeptical. . .

At a staff meeting recently, Veitch told faculty that the sexual assault investigation was "a reputational concern for all of us."

I've found we have the best success by laying the carrier on its end, with the door facing up. Then we just drop him in, taking care that he doesn't see the carrier beforehand.

Irresponsible breeding is irresponsible breeding.

Well. He DOES need to get her spayed. This is some pretty basic pet ownership shit, Joe.
