Nope. Lycalion is still right. Everyone has the right to apply for jobs, even ones they aren't qualified for. Blame the person doing the hiring.

That's bullshit. But there are two sides to the coin. My mom dealt with coworkers insinuating she got a lot of promotions only because she slept with her bosses. She never did, she just worked really hard. Even then, she got passed over numerous times and worked as "acting without pay" in higher level jobs than her…

They're saying this in front of students? WTF.

"Do you come with the car?"

This reminds me of one of my 3 shifts at a dollar store. There was a pretty diverse staff, including my now fiance. Some fuck came to my cash and said "finally, someone who speaks english."

Not job related, but when I graduated to high school, I went to a school for "gifted" (hate that term) students. Apparently, at the HS all my friends from middle school went to, someone started a rumour that churned for years about how I dropped out because I got pregnant at 14.

Gaaaah. My cousin is a respiratory therapist, and last week some fuck said to her "What are the requirements for working here? Being thin and beautiful?"

My fiance worked Dollarama and then Salvation Army after we graduated. The pity looks people gave us when we told them either of those were ridiculous. We're fine, thanks. It's a job! People are ridiculous.

Word. This is what got me through my customer service jobs (aside from the equally frequent excellent customers). Anyone who shits their pants because the world doesn't stop for them is someone who faces "hardship" every day. They really do make their own hell.

I could never tell if those "First job, honey?" people were huge bitches or just trying to relate and encourage me to get the hell out of there and into a better job. I think it depended on the person.

I've had kittens, too! Also, my grandma uses "having kittens" as an expression for freaking out about something.

It just makes my tummy hurt, but reading your comment and chani_dib's, I'm kinda sad that I've never tasted good tasting ejaculate.

Gorgeous and kind of totally a feminist. Adore.

Sorry for all the "real" adults saying your stress doesn't count. It does. I didn't have it that rough in high school. College was a lot like this for me. I still have days where I forget to eat because I don't have time, but not regularly. While walking the dog is a joy, on some days it can be a chore, especially…

I really think you may have misunderstood the spirit of LaComtesse's last comment. As someone who doesn't have the same experience as you do, she was thanking you for helping her put together thoughts based on what she already knows. Connections that she, as an extrovert, didn't automatically make for herself.

Same here! Finally, I could explain to my family and friends why I really needed to bundle up for winter or I couldn't be out long. It makes your extremities super sensitive to cold.

I love leggings. I always wear them with a shirt or coat that covers my ass, though (personal choice). They're comfy, they suit my body better than jeggings (and their bullshit stretched out knees after 20 minutes).

I just wear cheap $10 cotton leggings under my jeans with comfy socks. I cannot emphasize the importance of warm socks.

You are fabulous.

We actually switched from store brand foods to a raw food diet for our pup because we found it was cheaper than the healthy kibbles (at least in our area). We started with cooked ground meat because we weren't sure about trying raw, but after speaking with a number of pet lovers, experts, and vets, we decided to try…
