My left eyelid has been twitching on and off for the past three weeks.  I'm going a bit mad, so I decided to focus on the positives of the situation, as many important bullshit purveyors (i.e. therapists and self-help books) have suggested one does to deal with life's little road bumps ( Read more... )

No more. I'm done being an assistant.  I'm well versed in the art of sucking up and looking down and looking sideways for that matter.  I'm done pretending that I'm less informed and less capable than I am for the sake of propping up your ego.  I would be happy having no ego if it were in fact for the good of us all, if any job were in fact for the ( Read more... )
