I thought that protest was amazing as well. It was just so chilling - their silent condemnation was far more powerful than anything they could have yelled would be. I was shaken just watching the video. I can't imagine what it would be like to have been in her shoes.

I don't think it's appropriate to harass him at home. It's not that I feel his job and his personal life are separate - in most cases, yes, but this goes beyond that. When you treat someone so poorly in your job the consequences should carry over into your personal life because it means there is something wrong with…

I watched this video RIGHT after my coworkers finished sharing their best child vomit/explosive diarrhea stories. I am scheduling the appointment to have my ovaries removed TONIGHT.

The new comments button is gone. I'm not seeing it... maybe they're dinking around with the layout again.

I have never encountered sexual harassment (thank goodness). The one environment where I could have been subjected to sexual harassment was an internship at a refinery. My coworkers were very aware of my gender and were quick to volunteer to accompany me if I had to go out into the actual refinery. A lot of "oh, I…

Special hell. That's all I have to say about this.

I hope it continues to get better for you. And USE that vacation time! I used up all mine on hospital visits and doctor appointments for the first three years after I got out of college and when I finally did get to go... it was amazing. I burst into tears I was so happy when I got to the site. So go enjoy…

We'll move out when we're good and ready. I moved back in with my parents after I left my first job to save on money, and because I was so crushed emotionally that I don't think I could have managed on my own. I stayed with them until my health got good enough for me to be on my own. Right now I'm planning on…

So... my story about t-shirts for computer ladies. I went to a conference for women in computing one year and Microsoft sent sponsor t-shirts in their standard conference pack. We wore them as pajamas. They were that stinking big. Everyone was rather disgusted with Microsoft. The next year, Google sent babydoll…

I had a "No, I will not fix your computer" babydoll while I was in college. It did not help. I still got asked to fix computers. But mostly by other women who wanted to not only get their computer fixed, but learn how to fix it themselves. It was apparently best to ask another woman because the guys never bothered…

I gotta confess... I am soooo excited by this movie.

The jumping bit makes me sad. They're small enough for cars to drive harmlessly over them, but they get startled and jump right up into the undercarriage. My mother says it was the worst sound ever when we lived in Oklahoma, to hear an armadillo go whump into the bottom of the car. :(

Oh god so much want. I want one. So much. I love armadillos. My family is from the south so when we moved up here no one seemed to know what an armadillo was. When a bidding war started over my hand in marriage (it was a joke) one of the items my father demanded was an armadillo and everyone was going 'wtf is an…

Not painful, thankfully. Just a bit uncomfortable because I can't rearrange my feet and I just ran out of hot tea. Might ambush a coworker to bring me some more. The typical way I have a fit with this disorder looks like a seizure and gets mistaken for one a lot, so being able to sit still is a nice change.

Bravo. I especially liked number 7.

Yeah, this is normal. Really rare disorder that manifests in a number of odd ways, including very rarely temporary paralysis. I'm just at my desk alternating between talking to a coworker about something over IM and refreshing Jezebel. Everyone I know is aware I have it and I can ask anyone for help if I need it. …

I sincerely hope that this dude never has anything terrible happen to him, because he will not be able to cope with it or ask for help with this sort of attitude. He'll destroy himself through his inability to deal with his own emotions. I hope they teach the students of this school better so none of them wind up…

Sad to say, but I can understand why these girls may not have realized it was offensive. College can very well be the first time someone is out on their own, so if someone comes from a very sheltered background they may not have been exposed to any form of diversity education until this point. We don't learn unless…

Right there with you. This is a very classy way to handle a complete lack of class.

I won't be shopping at Target this year. I don't need to go shopping that badly and shame on anyone that does. Give people their time off. I always liked it as a kid when things shut down for the holidays as it felt like the whole world was just taking a break and it was peaceful. Shit will still get done if…
