You can sign up at “content mills” and write short articles for anywhere from $3 to $100 a pop, or you can market yourself to companies in need of content (articles, blog posts, etc.). I’ve done the content mill stuff, but my focus is almost entirely on marketing agencies now. I started out doing the…

If you need money, sign up with some of the content mills. The work isn’t prestigious, and the editors can make you rip your hair out, but it pays money. I started freelancing in 2008 and have made anywhere from $18,000 to $42,000 per year just churning out content on a part-time basis. I know several people who…

Okay, 2016 sucks in terms of politics, access to abortion, terrorism, and everything that counts. But can we all agree that it’s an amazing year for ‘90s nostalgia? First we get the Full House reboot, then People vs. O.J., and now the Tanya Harding story?

I totally thought Rita Wilson was Avril Lavigne in that pic.

He went into the seminary after we graduated high school, but he never finished/became a priest. His bod is still hot, but most of his hair is gone, resulting in a “ripped Seinfeld” look overall.

I have a confession to make. I am not Catholic, but I once went to a Catholic church to see my hot friend wearing a loincloth while carrying the cross down the aisle (he played Jesus in the stations of the cross). I’m gonna get hit by lightning.

It’s nice when the bride is in the same financial boat as you. It’s awful to be “the poor bridesmaid” when the rest of the bridal party wants to jet off to Vegas and have three showers!

She’s amazing, and she has a great reputation. Every time I ever took pants into her shop to be hemmed, you could barely fit in there with all the work she had lined up.

Luckily, I only had to serve as a bridesmaid once. I enjoyed the wedding, but getting to that point was a pain. My friend and I had been out of touch for a long time (her mother kicked her out of the house, in the days before most people had cell phones, and I had no idea how to get in touch with her), but we…

When I started the worst job I ever had (the work itself was fine; the environment was toxic), my boss made me sit in an empty classroom and watch “The Secret” before I could do anything else. I thought it was such a load of horseshit.

She specifically mentioned that she was honest about her past salary because the company making the offer will do an extensive background check before bringing her on board. If she lied, they would easily be able to see what she really made, and she’d be branded a dishonest candidate.

Yes, exactly! So even if she gets a generous 5 percent raise, she’ll get $4,500 more per year instead of $6,000. If you assume she’s 40 and works until she’s 65, that’s a loss of nearly $40,000 in 25 years (it would actually be more because subsequent raises would be based on her current, higher, salary).

Exactly. Even my mother thinks that way. When I said something about my friend not getting a promotion, my mom said, “Well, I’m not surprised. Who wants to hire someone who keeps having a kid every couple of years?”

There’s an interesting thread on Ask A Manager today that ties into this topic. One of the commenters said her former workplace was rather sexist, and she was never given the same opportunities as men despite having a similar record of success. She interviewed at another company, and the job advertisement listed a…

I’m like a week late on this, but I’m reading her book now, and it does explain some of it.

I wish that logic had worked for me when I visited the Georgia Aquarium. “I’ll go on a weekday. Kids will be in school. It will be quiet!” Cut to my cab pulling up behind NINE buses full of kids on a field trip. Actually, the kids were cute; the chaperones/parents were the problem (hogging the exhibits by having the…
