It's a bad situation when your local deli guy sees you more frequently and knows more about your life than your boyfriend. Thanks for being there for me, Mr. Kim! #Groupthink(Edit comment)
I've been doing the same thing! I never cry usually, but the past couple weeks I've been feeling like crying about everything. It's scary... #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Trying to talk to my mom about stresses I'm feeling regarding my upcoming boards is fucking futile. She's too busy looking at wedding magazines for my sister's wedding this August. One daughter will be a doctor...the other will be a wife. Who's the one getting the support? Oh yeah... #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Would I be insane to quit my job in this economy? I hate it. I hatehatehatehate it. Well, no. I like my job and my co-workers, it's my boss and the tiny tiny paycheck that I hate... But I am still scared to leave it. #Groupthink(Edit comment)
I should have mentioned that it doesn't pay a living wage (about $200 a month) and that I have already been looking for a second job. #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Perhaps I am just being overly sensitive today, but isn't a job rejection letter that says, "Your experience and qualifications fit what we were looking for, but we we are unable to offer you the job" just sound totally backhanded and rude? To me it means, "We thought you were a psycho." #groupthink(Edit comment)
Ok, nice to know I'm not crazy! I think this is a blessing in disguise. I have a good job, luckily, but I have been looking for something a little bit different. #groupthink(Edit comment)
No, to me, it says, "your jobs and qualifications fit, but we found someone who fits even better." I swear, if you don't get a job, it's often not so much that you suck, it's that someone else is better. #Groupthink(Edit comment)
That is a very odd rejection message indeed. I prefer the type that just say something to the effect of we enjoyed meeting you blah blah but another candidate was a better fit for the position. #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Me too. They are much more eloquent and polite ways to tell someone they didn't get a job. The whole letter was weird and not very well written. #groupthink(Edit comment)
Hiiii. I'm like, back for #wineoftheday today. So rejoice! I have come to bring you Cabernet Sauvignon. In particular, the Bonterra Organic Cab from Mendocino county in California. I know you all love cab.
This is a fun Cab. It's got a nice full body with slick tannins, so if you like heavier wines but you don't like rough tannins this should be up your alley. A nice fruit-bomb type Cab with lots of cherry black currant and raspberry jam. Smooth vanilla and coffee with a hint of a meaty spiciness to it.
I got this cab for $10.99, and I think it is a pretty solid bottle. The berry flavors really open up and cool down as the bottle airs out and the finish is very smooth and easy. If you find you tend to like the easy, fruitier cali cabs this should be perfect for you. If you don't drink a lot of Cab because it is too heavy for you, or prefer Pinot Noir because the tannins tend to not be as heavy, this may be a good option for you.
This would also be great with a steak with A-1, I think, because it's acidic but not too tart and would really soften something tart like A-1. You could also do grilled steak kabob and it would turn out perfect with this.
Anyone have any recommendations for two player board games? It is the middle of winter here and there is not much to do, so boyf and I find ourselves bored many weekends. I thought a game night might be fun. I am going to get Scrabble, but after that I am out of ideas. #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Battleship? UNO. Skip-Bo. A sexy game of twister? Pictionary? Hm, that's all I can come up with. Good luck in your search! It's a great idea. :) #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Not sure if it qualifies as a board game (or what you're looking for), but have you ever played Go? It's Chinese or Japanese, I think (I want to say Chinese, but I can never remember). It is basically laying down stones on a board, but there's strategy involved and it can be pretty fun (or pretty long ha)
Is it weird that I read this on the register and immediately thought "There are some people on Jezebel in long distance relationships who would probably be interested in a kiss transmitting bunny." [www.theregister.co.uk] #groupthink #tips(Edit comment)
Here's my night: I'm reading an article for this really interesting class I'm in about feminism and the English language. In the background, my roommate is watching George Lopez on Nick at Nite, and it's a surprisingly well done episode about slut shaming. Overall, I'm feeling full of lady-positivity.
Then I see this on facebook. And I'm suddenly overcome with a super strong wave of defeated sadness. It's nowhere near the most offensive or sexist thing I've ever seen, but man. It brought me down to earth real fast. :( #Groupthink
If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure there's a really similar joke out there, but with the roles reversed. (Not that two wrongs make a right, but...) I wish I remembered it! #Groupthink(Edit comment)
The much funnier and truer (in a "fuck" sense) version of that is where she wishes to "do half the work for twice the pay, and get promoted." #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Thanks everyone who offered support this morning, I really needed it and was able to drag myself out into public to see a doctor. It did not go great, I got a terrible awful therapist, but saw a fantastic doctor. So now I've been given something to calm my nerves and just have to find a counsellour who doesn't make me want to run out of the room and never go back. #Groupthink(Edit comment)
I think so. I have to go back for a follow up with the same therapist just to make sure I'm not in a panic, but then I'm going to try and see my old awesome not weird therapist. This guy actually made me feel worse not better, so many pauses in the most uncomfortable way and he just stared at me with the most serious expression like I was some sort of lab experiment. #Groupthink(Edit comment)

Shiiiit. I am so stressed. Boyfriend's oldest brother, wife, and three kids might be moving into this house anytime between tomorrow and a week. I can't handle this right now. We need to find a place, stat, but what if he doesn't find a job a few months down the line and we can't afford it??
I know I'm reacting way too hard to this, but it feels like any foundation I had has been ripped out from under me. I know I won't be able to stand being around kids all the time. #Groupthink
It is absurd how much work I can get done when I'm not in my room. Basically anywhere* besides my room I stay on task, and work consistently for however long I'm there**. In my room? Nope. Nothing gets done. Bah.
*As long as said location is temperature controlled. I can't work if I'm freezing my ass off. **aka until I have to go to the bathroom. The downfall to working in coffee shops. #Groupthink
Haha! I discovered this too when I went to the computer lab to do an assignment and was like "huh, I can get this stuff done in 20 minutes instead of the 3 hours it takes me at home when I am bouncing around my apartment like a kangaroo every 10 minutes because I feel like I need to take a little break..."
The downside is I have to put on pants to go to these other locations. :) #Groupthink
Khazad Dum would not pass a Health & Safety evaluation. Where is the wheelchair access? Why are there no railings? Honestly... #Groupthink(Edit comment)
Stop it. Stop it RIGHT NOW. STOP GETTING WEEPY. STOP CRYING AT STUPID SHIT.
No? Fine. I'm not talking to you until you stop being such a baby.
... Man, it's going to suck to not be able to talk to myself. :/ #Groupthink
