'Dirty Girls'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Which reminds me -- someone I was hanging out with the other day kept saying WTF. Like "double-you-tee-eff."
Dude. Saying it that way is two syllables too many.
What's weird is that's not how I pronounce WTF in my head. It's closer to "Wha-t'fuh?"
Hee. Yes, this exactly.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Yes. I love that thing - whatever it's called.

My god. I found it by googling world "le tired"
Pretty sure someone here linked it the first time I saw it, but anyway. It makes me laugh, so I'm re-linking.
Uh, there's sound, and it's not work-friendly.
I completely understand your rationale for saying it, but this may cause red flags for some employers...kids mean having to take time off for illness, etc. Of course, do you really want to work for the employers it does cause red flags?
I wouldn't, and they're going to find out I have a kid eventually anyway.
We'll see what happens with these first few cover letters I've sent out. If I don't get so much as a nibble, I may change my approach or ask advice from my old career counselor.

Oh, yes. Even worse was when I was the first in my 5th-grade class to get her period, and had to deal with pads, etc., in full view of anyone else in that bathroom. Yuck.
Kathy A is me. And it's not like I'm freakishly shy or anything--I grew up in a house with five women and one bathroom. But this--this SUCKED BEYOND ALL SUCK when you're 11 years old. I wanted to die EVERY time it happened.
Theoretically, you could request a pass for the teachers' bathroom, which had a door that locked. But then everyone knew what was going on and the humilation was multiplied.
My boss prefers hiring people with kids. He thinks it means they're more stable and less likely to leave a job.

Less likely to quit a crappy job.
Adding doors on bathroom stalls in school to the list of things I never even knew I should be grateful for. Wow.

A friend of my father's once told me after I was married and had a mortgage that I was only having a kid away from him considering that he might hire me. He ran a small industrial refridgeration and air-conditioning company, and I'm an English major, but sure, I guess that was a snub.
