When one finally moves into a house they are ready to call home, there is a series of decisions they have to make to ensure everyone feels truly comfortable in the new space. One of the biggest decisions a person has to make is what purpose they will assign to all their new rooms. One room should obviously be the bedroom, but everything else is entirely up to them. If they plan to start a family soon, they might consider making one room a nursery. If they work a lot from home, an office would b…

Green isn't a good look...

This is way more fun anyways

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When it comes to our personal belongings, some people get overly sensitive and possessive. Lending out clothes to your friend is one thing, but we all have a boundary somewhere where we have to tell someone, ‘no.’ We’re never obligated to give up our things, lend them out, or let people borrow them. In this Reddit thread, that’s not what this coworker had in mind. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a woman who occasionally gives her cow…

If you’re going to be stuck in the trenches, at least you’ve got each other.

Well, it is that time of year again... at work. Not in a relationship.

Working with your parents in a professional setting is complicated enough, but what if you had to constantly make up for their lack of preparation at work? At some point, I’d start looking for a new job. For this mother-son duo, I think one of them may not be coming back to work after this incident. Boundaries are a crucial part of growing up, and as you gain your independence, you’d hope your parents would respect those boundaries the most. In this instance, it seems this son did everything by…

"What I love about this petty revenge is that the 'revenge' is all in his head. A more secure man wouldn't be affected by it."

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The good news is that the year is almost over. The bad news is that you still have to go to the end of the year office party. Before the year officially ends, there are so many loose ends to tie up, gifts to buy people, and projects to finish. Not only are you swamped with your personal life during the holiday’s, but your work makes it especially clear that they’re not letting you off easy. We’re all familiar with the infamous work bestie. The…

Cheers to a short work week!

Karma at its finest

As women, we want to prove to the rest of the world that we are just as capable as men and can be just as successful, especially when it comes to our careers. We constantly need to fight to show our worth, and I am sorry, but stories like this one prove that in some ways, we can never be truly equal to men. It is no secret that motherhood and successful careers sometimes do not go hand in hand. Even starting with the very first step of motherhood–the pregnancy. Being pregnant, then later having…

Hosting a Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most challenging tasks to embark upon, especially if you invite your family. It is one thing to have a cutesy dinner with some friends and wine, but another thing entirely to have to cook for your mother, siblings, cousins, grandparents, etc… I love my family, but the thought of hosting this kind of dinner with everyone makes me want to curl up in my bed and never leave, so it would probably be a long while before I give it a try. That cannot be said…

Speeding On Home As We Speak

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The workplace is our second home. It doesn’t matter if we work in an office, lab, restaurant, or somewhere else, we spend such a large percentage of our time there that it’s impossible for work dynamics not to affect us. I always say that your coworkers make or break the job, not the work itself. But let’s talk about the Reddit thread. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who works in a male-dominated field. As a woman who’s work…

the true test of patience.
