Big Foot’s very first seizure was at her program that she has since graduated from. I was not there but made it to the hospital before she did. (Way to go ambulance.) After that, my fear was always that she would have a seizure and I would not be able to get to her. Last night it happened. She seized near the corner…

It's their loss missing out our comments.

I have not, but I LOVE port so I think I’ll need to! 

So Hollywood is nuts right now! Tarantino’s latest is shooting in practically my backyard right now — they’ll be shutting down a chunk of Hollywood Blvd. on Monday and Tuesday — and it’s pretty cool to see the production sparing no detail in getting certain storefronts done up to look like it’s 1969 again. The…

Up here in the province of Ontario, Canada, our newly elected Premier Doug Ford (blech) and his party are moving forward with an election promise to roll back the 2015 sexual education curriculum, with the one from 1998. The problem is that the old curriculum does not deal with modern issues such as online bullying,…

Forgive me this question, but why do you have to give her a gift? I’ve never done that with a job. If you really feel compelled, a thoughtful thank-you note should do the trick in professional settings. 

I’m supposed to be moving to the UK from Canada NEXT SATURDAY but still haven’t received my visa (or my passport back!!!) in the mail, so every day I’m holding myself back from a full-fledged panic attack. To date I have spent over $1,500 dollars that, as a graduate student, I definitively do not have, on getting my…

He's not supposed to be on the table and he knows it :)

hi! I know many of you have experience with pets, so I’m looking for some help/to vent.

Hey all! Anyone else out there struggling with “imposter syndrome”? I’m in my early 40s and have built a good set of skills and a strong reputation in my field over the course of my career. However, I’ve always worked within an existing structure and under another supervisor. Now that I’ve created and am running my…

I actually got offered a new job on Monday. The person who hired me there (and then quit in March) acted as my reference. This has been the strangest, most stressful week of my life.

My boss told a dirty joke in the office the other day. I am a woman, she is a (straight, married) woman, so I don’t think she was trying to sexually harass me. But god in heaven. It was the most uncomfortable thing. She told it in front of me and my intern twice. She called in her secretary to tell it once again. I…

There’s a standoff with hostages at Trader Joe’s in Silverlake, CA apparently. I’m just learning of it. Holy shit. Listening now and a teen killed his grandmother then took hostages. I’m pet/housesitting in Santa Monica this weekend and it’s the first thing that popped up. I hope everyone is safe and they can take him…

The surprise appearance was especially unexpected given Depp’s recent personal troubles. A recent Rolling Stone profile presented him as frequently inebriated and bedeviled by financial issues, some of them related to his divorce from Amber Heard, who accused the actor of abuse.

Still haven’t decided whether I should cut off my family. I really need to go to therapy.

He's disgusting.

My Saturday really was completely mindless. Hoping for a more productive Sunday.

I quit my job this week. My mom’s assisted living facility was shut down by the state (they apparently faked their license) and I found out on Monday when the state called me and informed me I had until 5 to either pick her up or she’d be transferred by the state to a different facility. I left, told the COO and…

Personally, I don't think Depp looks ok.  Holy yikes!

I’m so fucking depressed. Every morning when I wake up for work I nearly always dread it. I fuck around until the last possible second just so I don’t have to walk out the door and drive to work. I’m so under-valued and under-appreciated at my job. My co-workers are nice and it’s a respectable, upstanding job that is…
