Nicole, that sounds like an excellent birthday. I haven't been at a job in several months and I still haven't learned how to spend a day with the TV gracefully.

I love Leslie Jones too and I miss her on Twitter, although I think we all know that she's better off without it (although Twitter is the less for her not being there).

I was up early this morning, making plans for Christmas and New Year's in... Buenos Aires! Can't wait.

Thanks for the link to scary stuff. Now I officially will get nothing done at work today.

I know Friday open threads are the usual place for questions like this, but I’m getting a flashing, screaming neon sign I need to get my sh*t together and find a job to be able to stop living with my parents (no immediate danger, just extreme dysfunction). If anyone can recommend a career counselor who’s good at helping people with more than the usual anxiety about the process update their resume and apply for jobs, I’ll be forever grateful. Thanks.

That first letter writer is definitely ELIDING a few things. There are states/locales where someone/everyone in a domestic dispute has to go to jail, but going to the hospital for broken fingers and a broken nose isn't "Me and the wife argued a little too loud and the cops showed up" as these things go.

Thanks for the spook/scary things thread, those are always gems.
