What should I do with my hair for interviews? Ponytail seems unprofessional. I'll start playing with the front strands if I wear it down. Pulling just the front back makes me look like I'm 12. (And, yes, I am aware that I'm interviewing with math people who will probably notice absolutely nothing about hair.)
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm getting the pig!
A low ponytail isn't unprofessional, IMO.
Great letter! Good luck, P-C!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Can you put it in a bun? That's my default professional hairdo.

My hair frizzes out of buns at the slightest bit of humidity. Low ponytail might work.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Low pony. You can flip it into a knot at the base of your neck too.

Frizzed out bun might make you look mathematically professorial, actually. Stick a pen in it. Get some chalk dust on you for no apparent reason.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday MM!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, MM! Bend this year to your will and make it your bitca! Or something like that.
I should add that the co-worker complaining about the horrid smell wasn't actually implying that I was its source; I heard her and my non-medicated brain automatically filled in all the blanks with IT'S ME I AM THE STENCH, and then I spent way too much time wallowing in guilt and shame and stress eating. Fortunately, just as I was about to polish off our giant tub of leftover Christmas biscotti, someone in the clinic did something unbelievably stupid and/or lazy and filled me with a good distracting dose of healthy cleansing rage. Stink-smelling co-worker was in no way to blame for my misery; it was all Zoloft deficit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yep, this is pretty much the reaction I expected.
That's fine. I won't call you anymore. When you think that you need your parents, we might not even be there for you. If you don't want anymore contact, then that is your choice. It is obvious that you want to live your life without us in it.
And I wouldn't have kept calling you if you had ever bothered to return any of my calls and let me know what was going on. I'm sorry for being a concerned mother.
I don't even know if I'm supposed to respond.
