Hmm I'll have to try that. Thanks for the tip!

Yes, yes, yes and...maybe?

Oh hey too much information time.

I gave this advice to my friend who was in a similar situation -

Happy almost birthday!!!

It's not my boss's fault this shit is boring. Saturdays are just hella slow. There's not much else to do when I'm at the gym desk besides check members in and sign people up for memberships. It just blows cuz I get commission off of memberships (I also get paid hourly) and today NO ONE came in to sign up. Usually I at…

Everything is easier to deal with in oversized sweats and a tank top. Even though I'm at the desk, I have full permission to look like crap. As long as it's semi-appropriate crap.

I'M SO BORED.

Same here. My old job, I was an usher at a theater (a real theater, not a movie theater) so I would be on my feet for 4-6 hours at a time with some sitting breaks in between. Now I work as a receptionist in a gym, so I'm sitting the whole time. Luckily my boss is pretty relaxed about us taking short breaks, because I…

I have a few good friends who mumble a lot when they speak, so I guess I'm just so used to hearing it that I didn't notice. But yeah, I agree.

This shit is absolutely ridiculous. She's doing fine on trial. People think THAT is bad at public speaking? She's just nervous! Everything she said was perfectly clear. I'm bad at public speaking. If that was me up there, I'd probably be hysterically crying while slipping in and out of about 3 different languages…

Language fatigue is absolutely a thing. I speak a few languages - only English fluently, but the others at a basic level, enough to communicate with - and if I'm tired, drunk, sad, angry, anything other than neutral, really, I switch languages when I speak. My dialect changes, too. My friends and mom often have to…

No doctor's note for being out sick? That's amazing. I work two jobs - one fluctuates between part and full time just based on how many hours I get a week, the other is what I like to call shit time because...I don't even want to get into why I call it that. Regardless, both require a doctor's note for missing work…

It's 35 in NYC. Some jobs I think they jack it up to 40. I know my job counts anything over 40 hours as overtime.

I hear ya. My weight has fluctuated my whole life, so I have stretch marks all over the place. My hips, right above my ass, the sides of my knees - everywhere.

One time, I got asked when I was due cuz I was buying pre-natal vitamins (they help your nails get stronger, ok?).

THOSE EYES!!!!!

This is how I was brought up, too (I live and grew up in Brooklyn). My legit first thought when reading all of this was "people give gifts at the actual wedding?" because my whole life it was - gift at the shower and/or engagement party, money at the wedding (usually around $200 or more, depending on how well you knew…

I feel your pain. This happened to me on the bus a few months ago. Me and this guy (not guy, KID) were kind of checking each other out for a minute. He looked about my age (22) as he was just in jeans and a tshirt and had a decent amount of facial hair. I also happen to look about 16 years old.

You make good points. I wouldn't say anyone hates shaving or waxing, per se, but I don't believe anyone who says they enjoy the process. It's not exactly fun, ya know? But I also don't think it's fair to assume that any woman who says they remove their body hair for themselves is lying. Could some of them be?…
