Yes to all of this!

TL;DR summary?

OhmygodYES

Kinda like The Beautiful Georgina Chapman on Project Runway All-Stars. So awkward.

This is glorious

I would watch a hidden camera show of this happening to tech bros ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

I loled in horror. That is insane.

Know that feel... I once challenged a senior programmer for coding a feature totally different from how it was spec’d, and he beat his chest (yes, literally) and said, “who do you think you are? I am the developer!”

Why are programmers often such delicate little flowers? Ugh.

I am sincerely sorry to hear about your past anorexia struggles. I hope that you are doing better now.

I call shenanigans on this statement. I am related to a whole bunch of people who are built like this. Naturally. I don’t know this lady and I refuse to comment on her situation, but saying that no one naturally looks like this is wholly false.

Bali is awesome!

That sucks, but the good news is, you can absolutely use that your current/too-low rate was negotiated to be only for an intro period as an angle in your negotiation. If you didn’t have that part in writing and/or they balk at that, then run like the wind (and always get it in writing in the future —learned that the…

Booze: it's technically medicine 👍

They did sag a bit, yeah. But it happened when I was still in my twenties, so I think that youth + daily collagen consumption probably saved me some trouble. I’m a scant 32B now, so it’s not so apparent. I’m sure that shit will hit the fan if/when I breastfeed.

I think I know what you mean — catcalling sucks, but as I’ve gotten a little older, I’ve been able to appreciate the humor in its more benign flavors. The “Good Job on Being Hot” is a funny one, and I have gotten laugh out of the “GOOD morning!” Very different from the creepy tone of hey baby/kissing noises/why don’t…

Team Small Breasts FTW. I feel you... I had a couple of bizarre +3 cup fluctuations in recent years, and it was the worst. So painful. And they just get in the way all the time! Why do they have to touch each other when you are sleeping on your side? Ugh. It happened to me 3 times, and now I’m back down to normal.…

I have been posting about this nonstop tonight, but acupuncture was a game changer for me recently. I had a so-so experience with it in the past, but found a good practitioner recently, and felt a big difference after my first session. If you try it and it doesn't click, try another practitioner. Hope you feel better.…

Are you currently making what they would consider a freelancer rate for that role, or no? Sometimes that accounts for the difference between a salary rate and what they pay you hourly; freelancers often include a markup of anywhere betwee 25-100% of their hourly rate equivalent on salary, since the employer is usually…

Ugh, I just finished a 4-week URI. Tried something different at the end and finally KO’d it with a combo of acupuncture and a long sauna. Feel better. :(
