Oh god, I actually don't think it's THAT terrible...someone take me out back and finish the job.

You must be super duper fun at a cocktail party.

No, not necessarily. CIS programs tend to vary based on the university, but there are useful skills involved. My friends who graduated with that degree have started off quite low on the totem-pole (one does tech support for credit card POS systems for like $13/hr), so hopefully you don't have super lofty expectations,…

I visited the Northern Territory in Australia a few months ago and it was an amazing place. Very remote in some areas, with lots of different climates (desert, tropical, etc) and LOTS of deadly crocodiles.

Also took this picture there, at a place called Katherine Gorge:

Can't. Unsee.

Ugh. How disgusting (on the tenant's part). Release their names so that they can't rent out places! Usually I side against the landlord, because renting can be so unfair and landlords are often predatory, but this is just beyond disrespectful.

I've always wondered this too...I mean, they built an indoor ski slope in Dubai, surely they can just do something similar for the World Cup? I mean, it doesn't make the initial choice not-retarded, but at least players/spectators wouldn't die from the heat.

Very common in Europe, where duvets are widely used. The theory being, that you just wash the duvet cover as often as you would wash the flat sheet, since it's so easy to wash.

"Comforters" or whatever only get washed sporadically and therefore if you don't use a flat sheet with it, you're kinda gross. Also, so your…

I will make my bed right before I get into bed (if I've just washed and dried the bedding). I will be late for work because I haven't made my bed and I just. have. to. It's like 20 seconds, but still.

I realize that I'm on the extreme end of things, but some people just like an aesthetically pleasing bedroom and part…

Go away, Katherine Heigl.

Fine - it was a cheap shot. She annoys the everloving fuck out of me and I genuinely think that when casual sports fans turn on the TV and see her playing (with her screeching wail), they're going to be turned off of women's tennis.

Surely it can't be as bad as the ridiculous "Serena looks like a dude" comments...

I miss Henin and Clijsters in their prime - they were worthy rivals. Azarenka is, to me, an unwatchable player due to her obnoxious weird grunt, which is IMO way worse than that of Serena or Sharapova. She's also kind of dumpy looking, her game isn't particularly exciting, and not really a rival - she's never beaten…

Also because Azarenka's terrible, terrible grunt ruins everything about her. I can watch any other sort of grunting player no problem, but she is just so fucking annoying. I wanted Hantuchova to knock her out (of consciousness, and out of the tournament), but sadly no.

Well, he obviously isn't Rafa-level, but 11th seed Kei Nishikori went out to a qualifier ranked 179 yesterday. In straight sets.

But yes, the big 4 or whatever they're currently being called are miles ahead of the competition, 99% of the time.

It's Venus who has the auto-immune disorder, no?

Isn't that how most (civilized) people do it in the US, too? When out with friends, we usually just buy rounds. If you're with a particularly large group, you just buy one large round at the beginning and then you'll be hammered well before it comes back to your turn!

The "use your breaks wisely" one rings particularly true. When I was an intern, I made a point to eat lunch everyday with some of the associates, especially since several of them went out anyways...I was broke as absolute shit, but it paid off: I got the full-time gig and the other intern, who insisted on bringing his…

Ugh, I hate that sort of mentality. To me, it shows laziness on the part of the hiring manager: "I'm too lazy to actually sit down and go through these applicant's resumes, so I'm just going to pick between the 2 or 3 people who hounded us consistently, because they obviously wanted it more."

I do this, too, but I have a (possibly dumb) question: do you indicate how many years? For example, do you write "2010-2013 (3 years)" or just leave it up to simple inference/math? I've seen both ways.

My bike commute is only 5 miles (although it is hilly) and I live in an area with a really dry, temperate climate, so I'm rarely dealing with hot mornings (and therefore I'm only moderately sweaty upon arrival), but what I do is bring a backpack with my work clothes, and then when I get to the office, I have a couple…
