You should, I don’t even know you but I think you’re a rockstar

So much to comment on here, but I can’t get past that shot of her IG post where she writes, “... at the end of the day we go to sleep at night knowing we have changed the lives of our students in the most meaningful, compassionate ways possible!!”

Thank you. For more College Me adventures you can read about the time I witnessed a jell-o based assault:

Not even my first job, but an internship at a small but respected industry magazine owned by Conde Nast (I think they owned much more in the early 2000s than they do now).

My BFF’s husband didn’t even remember I was with her the night they met, when recollecting the night much later he thought she was alone. Because yeah, sure, conventionally hot young women go clubbing by themselves on New Year’s Eve all the time, it makes way more sense she was there by herself rather than with her…

She replied to one of my posts on Instagram tagging her and my 70s kid dreams came true!

Thank you for reminding me that Charo is still alive. She was so big in my 70s childhood. Cuchi cuchi, everyone!

Call me a cynic, but I fully expect these assholes to all land on their feet eventually, because the world is unfair and annoyingly kind to mediocre white people.

“ungrateful bitch...you’re lucky your mom’s pro-life.”

Now if we could just figure out the other side of the spectrum: I discovered that masks were too small for me to be able to talk without them sliding around.

I was in Trader Joe’s the other day, I was in line next to a woman who wasn’t covering her nose with her mask.

Without knowing any context of allegations of domestic abuse, I gotta say, given the events of the the past couple months, my initial response to the idea that Hammer might be eating people is “Christ, Ok, I think I can handle this story as a pressure release.”

This is the only lesson he’s learned his whole life.

man, those two clips made my DAY!

Some of his supporters in Congress are getting hit in the wallet too. Apparently Marriott (the hotel chain) will stop all political contributions/donations to any of the GOP folks in the House and Senate who objected to the electoral voting. More of this please.

Some are going to have trouble getting to his events and getting home.

Ha. Stripe will no longer process payments for Trump’s campaign website, and one of the email marketing services he used just dropped him so he can’t send out emails to shake down his marks. No more campaign donations, and since Shopify already kicked him out, he can’t sell any merch either. This is great. Stop the…

Years ago, I quit a job that literally made me cry at my desk to work something fun and temporary for the summer. It was a super fun place- a young restaurant crowd working summer jobs at the beach. Everyone was younger; I was like the old lady of the bunch, at 37. There was this guy in another department who was…

Summer, 1992: I’m asked by my boss to escort a candidate for a tech position to her office from the front door of our offices. I do. Over the next three years we become such good friends everyone thinks we’re dating.
Summer, 1995: we move in together (after dating for about two weeks)
Winter, 1997: reader, I married him.
