Adding doors on bathroom stalls in school to the list of things I never even knew I should be grateful for. Wow.

My boss prefers hiring people with kids. He thinks it means they're more stable and less likely to leave a job.

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.

Does he hire female people?

Less likely to quit a crappy job.

Exactly. Did I mention I'm looking for a new job?

Does he hire female people?

Yup. But they never last. Because he's an ass.

I only asked, because I've heard that theory before, of hiring "family types" because they're more stable. In a two parent family that includes children, if both spouses are working, one or the other (or a rotating combo of both) is staying home with sick kids, etc. And it seems to me that the so-called pro-family bosses, are the ones with the least patience for, "Yes, I was out with Ben's strep throat this week, but Julia has it this week," realities of "stability".

I not only sounds out the entire WTF, it has a trace of annoyance and I hit the "F" hard.

I always love freaking out new male co-workers by telling them about the couch in the ladies room. They don't have one theirs. Between that, and the fancy lounges in department store ladies rooms, I think that women have it pretty good, bathroom-wise.

Bingo. It doesn't help that he's a confirmed bachelor with few personal responsibilities.

Psh. That's not so fancy. Our McDonald's has that.
