“You do not sign off on a disaster situation, what you sign there is for normal...”
– The first story I’ve seen discussing the compensation for the Costa Concordia passengers.
Having family in Germany who have had been tied up in the German legal system for some 10+ years now, if it is determined that Carnival is responsible, the German passengers should consider it their...
“Growing up, it was a matter of gender politics. I no longer read women’s...”
– Julieanne Smolinski raises a very good point.

As women, we’re supposed to be pretty and like...
12. Wishing "Happy Birthday" on Facebook
I know I’m going to get a lot of heat for this, but in all the years people have said the phrase, “It’s the least I could do,” this truly is—outside of doing nothing at all—”the least you can do.” Nothing says, “I barely care,” then to type “Happy Birthday” on someone’s profile page.

Me: Because none of us have ever been.
The Dude: Hop y'all enjoy paying $10 for drinks...
Me: Who said WE would be the ones paying for the drinks?

Another friend just lost a parent to cancer.
Candace was one of our Girl Scouts Troop Leaders. She never cared how loud we had the tv when we were watching New Kids on the Block videos. She completely understood how one day you’d end up married to both Jonathan AND Jordan without it being gross.
Later, she was our volleyball coach, basketball coach, softball coach, and AP Economics and Government teacher. She never gave me shit for...

One of my bosses just used "spread sheet" in an...
Quotations, extraneous space, and all…
I don’t know if I should facepalm or side-eye.
Update: I went with a slamming of the forehead to the desk move. Right on top of said e-mail in the project folder. That thud was surprisingly therapeutic.
