Amanda Marcotte gets some really hateful email. I am sure she appreciated the love.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Amy and Stephen!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
She told me I'm not crazy. And also, "Fuck the fuckers."

You guys are never going to believe this, but people are being stupid on the internet.

I have considered putting up a website called "Someone is wrong on the internet," where one can go post about people being wrong on the internet without having to actually interact with the stupid people.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Thanks for the support, guys. The re-org makes sense in that Minneapolis is our headquarters and he is located there and that I already mentioned that we would need another HR assistant in that office in the future.
However, I have always reported to the person in charge and now I won't anymore. I just feel bad and passed-over. I feel like I'm 55 years old and now I have to face the fact that I'm just another middle-aged HR person. I feel ordinary and dull and not even successful in a stupid HR job. I feel that I thought I was way more interesting and skilled than I actually am.
I will get over this--it just has me bummed right now.

I'm having a lot of trouble putting "Scrappy" and "ordinary and dull" into the same sentence.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have considered putting up a website called "Someone is wrong on the internet," where one can go post about people being wrong on the internet without having to actually interact with the stupid people.
But how would you keep the stupid people out?
