But you should also be more successful, more confident, give less of a fuck about what others think, etc.

I’m not offended.  I just feel bad for, that’s all.

Yeah and that answer should not just be how great it will be for the candidate.  I had a candidate recently tell me she wanted the position b/c she thought it would be a great “stepping stone” for her career . . .

Funny, my team just hired someone and we specifically talked about the guy who said “we” v. the guy who said “I.”  These are people with only a couple years experience so we knew the “I” guy was full of shit and chose the “we” guy.

I think it’s funny that in this comment you drone on and on . . .

“Anyways ... articles like the one above should be clear their advice pretty much only applies to non-professional, non-technical, early-career job hunters.”

I mean, why would she be embarrassed? Are you actually embarrassed about a costume you wore as a kid? Even if you don’t like this (most people seem to) it’s silly to think she would be embarrassed by it later.  Should I be embarrassed that I dressed as a horse 3 years in a row b/c I was obsessed w/ horses as a kid? …

This is such a bad take.  Get some sleep, sweetie.

Why?  I’m a mom and I think it’s a funny costume.  She nailed it.

I don’t understand your comment.  How did we sign up for being tired?

Seeeeeriously.  I have a coworker who is always like, “Now that you have kids you’ll never get a good night’s sleep again.”  Um . . . my kid is 2 and she sleeps 11 hours a night.  I sleep 8 hours most nights.

I mean, it’s a kid who is aware enough to recognize (and bring attention to!) the fact that moms are often victims of those outdated divisions of labor. It’s clever. It’s funny.

Is this comment some kind of performance art?

I think it’s dumb but I understand it. Man wants boy b/c he’s obsessed with sports and, in his mind, a boy is more likely to be into the same sports the dad is. You can apply the same traditional gender crap to a woman who wants a girl (e.g., “We can go shopping together!”).

Oh dang.  Sorry for my snarky comment earlier!  She sounds like a real butthead.

I’m almost irish twins with my sister and I think she should defer to me as an elder.

Oh my god, this post is honestly the saddest thing I have ever read.  

And the bleaching isn’t doing anything great for their hair. Orangey leather skin, yellowy fried hair, still dressing like they’re in their 20s . . . I see middle aged women like this all the time.

That’s for the suggestion! I’m aware of the issues w/ CARB over the years. How is that relevant?

A U.S. president purposefully damaging the lives of his own citizens because they didn’t vote for him.  Classic.
