The whole “dry county” business isn’t even isolated to rural areas in the South. I was housesitting in a county that is the basically the fancy ‘burbs of Louisville for my boss when I was an intern in college. I’m talking Bikram yoga studio, Starbucks-having, ‘burbs. Walked into a Walgreens looking for wine (naturally) only to be told that I had to go to a county line liquor store. The Bible Belt struggle is very real.
Yes, but if you use that setting, you are no longer able to see who views your profile. I want to have the ability to LinkedIn-stalk anonymously and still see who’s stalking me.
However, it IS just a monorail trip away from drinking around the world at Epcot. Most trustworthy way to smuggle in alcohol is via your stomach, right?
Purchasing a Tumi carry on was incredibly painful in the moment (even on sale), but the peace of mind knowing that the bag will still be in one piece when getting off the plane (and if not, it has a full warranty) — worth it.
I made the education and career choice I did because it’s challenging, lucrative, and I enjoy what I do. And partially in the hopes that, one day, I will have the income to let some guy I haven’t met yet live the stay at home dad life if he so chooses. Isn’t that what equality is all about?
Not at all offended, I really appreciate your questions. An example – I referred a close guy friend from college. He’s currently raking in $15k more than me in base, we started at the same level. Other examples are people who were hired after but promoted before me (here, the raise is implied but the promotion is company-wide knowledge).
I brought these issues up to my boss and to HR, they just aren’t responding quickly, at all, with concessions I asked for. As for finding something else – I’m actively working on it. Side note: I forgot how soul-sucking job hunting is.
I’m in operations at an engineering company. My job is directly working on revenue-generating projects and I bust my ass and get great results – my pay doesn’t reflect that. I encounter so much resistance when I ask for raises (yes, I ask, and I have a well-constructed argument for why I deserve them), whereas my guy colleagues just… don’t encounter the same resistance. Through a friend who has access to the finance database, I know pay is unequal. I’m also somewhat frequently left off of meeting invites that pertain to my projects that I should be included on. I’m not someone who tries to be “one of the guys” (those women are always the worst) but it seems like to be included you have to be “one of the guys”. I don’t want special treatment at all, but I’ll admit that I expected better than this.
Seriously, I know time’s really ticking for the old guys on the muni course we play once a week, but at least they got to retire. I’m just trying to sip my light beer in peace after a shit day at work, what are you in such a rush for?
The person who clearly is working an Amway-esque pyramid selling scheme with both a bullshit title (“Lifestyle Consultant”, “Dream Coordinator”) and dumb “motivational” posts in horrid fonts.
My work best friend noticed from across the room and scooped me away from the Christmas party immediately after I did too many shots with the CFO (because she was ordering them, and I could not turn that down, obvs). The other two coworkers that were roped into the shots did not have a protective work best friend. One was arrested later that night, the other passed out in the lobby of his apartment building after ruining a very nice suit. Not to mention, horribly drunk photos of them were all over the public company photo album. Thank you, work best friend — for saving me a ton of embarrassment and salvaging what was left of my dignity that night. I’ve got your back — til two weeks past giving notice do we part.
Strangely, I’m all right with people thinking Louisville is run down… Means that there’s more beer cheese and bourbon mimosas (at Toast) for the rest of us.

With a touch of Javier Bardem from “No Country For Old Men”.

Adderall scripts can be pricey, so yes, literally.

I’ve heard of buying vowels, but never consummating them. At least that’s not how I remember The Price is Right.
I just wish that Range Rovers were as reliable as they are awesome-looking.

With pocket rockets of Tito’s stashed in your TSA bag.

Do you use one of these services? If so, which would you recommend?
An old fashioned made with Jack? For $19? HA.
