  • Do any of you employers give applicants reasons why they weren't hired? I'm currently a graduate level student intern, and it took a couple of rejections before I landed this gig. Each time, I thanked the interviewer and asked what I could have impr…
  • I hate sandal tans. They make my feet look dirty. My feet get icy cold in the winter despite double layers of socks. Each year, I have to slowly get accomodated to being sockless come summertime. I have an issue with my bare feet sweating in …

  • Rockadelic said:bassie said:I may not agree with the concept, but arranged marriages make sense to me as far as practicality goes - it is definitely a different approach to marriage and the purpose it serves. But I was talking about weddings…
  • Seems fake to me. Pretty hard to speak that fast and clearly through tears. Plus, no snot or red face. I didn't laugh, either.
  • Fantastic.
  • At least he's funny.
  • @Rock: Good point. I don't expect my friends to lie, steal and cheat, but I think we'd all be surprised by the secrets our friends keep. We've all known closet cheaters and drinkers who were otherwise good folks.Unlike politicians, we don't have to …
  • I'm a bit divided. On the one hand, he might as well step down since his credibility is now shot and he has lost a great deal of respect from his constituency. But on the other, his actions really weren't that bad in the grand scheme of things. I me…

  • I'm a geek, I know.
  • SMH Weiner, and SMH Huffington Post. I was at work when I pulled up HuffPo's page to see, in their characteristic all-caps, size 72, neon font, a headline reading "WEINER LETS IT ALL HANG OUT." Seriously, HuffPo? This is a new low, lower than usual.…

  • "You're vegetarian? My brother-in law is, too, and I've met one in school. You know, I tried to go veggie for 3 days once and just couldn't do it and my stomach felt all weird and my hair started to fall out and..." LMSYRT. I'm not preaching,…
  • No drunk purchases for me, but plenty of purchases which would lead one to question my general sobriety. Books/music/too many art supplies. Fortunately forums like this exist so I can live vicariously through yalls shoe and music finds. Some …
  • A+ research, rape_donkeys. Have you shown your lovely mom this thread yet? I'd be interested to know her reaction.
  • I assume you've already tried knocking to see if he's there. From the sound of it, the stench will only get worse, at which point it will become a biohazard. I hope he's okay. I hope no one is dead in there.
  • Frank said: If I remember correctly, in NY they have the "Rubber Room"... if this shit is true, it's completely beyond belief. I don't think the Rubber Room exists anymore, at least not in the same form it was in when the documentary…
  • I watched Waiting for Superman last night. It's a documentary about public education in the U.S., which is a topic I'm interested in. The film follows a few kids and their public school situations, and ends with the kids waiting to see if they are a…
  • I hope her triumphant attitude isn't matched by that of the rest of jury. I understand the rape acquittal based on lack of DNA evidence (despite the circumstantial evidence), but the false 911 call, possession of an illicit substance and the…
  • Nice blog. Thanks for sharing.
  • DOR said:The picket fence was a joke. But when trying to conceal that many wires (Power ext plus 2 speaker and a Cat5?)... Unless you were willing to put in some real work, your options are pretty limited. I kind of want some of those pickets …
  • The person who knocked over one of the Hello Kitty figurines in my little display, even though it took me weeks to notice.
  • People who exhibit classic hoarder behavior in their cubes, and dirty, cluttered cubes in general. I mean, it doesn't affect me, I just feel sorry for you. I have to feign slight messiness just so people know my cube is occupied. And overly decorate…
  • LOL at the white picket fence. So tacky and cute at the same time. If you're looking for a convo piece...
  • You can purchase cable concealers which are like tubes that contain all unsightly wires and cables. There are different types and colors, and while they're still visible, they're less of an eyesore than uncontained wires. Nothing the team at your lo…
  • My parents are really traditional and family-centric. They'd be begging gramps to make sure I got the house. And they'd be volunteering to watch the kid after he/she is born. Your dad's selfishness shouldn't be rewarded with free real estate. The f…
