All the Caturday feels you need

It must have been challenging for this boss to read about how her own lack of professionalism. However, as Justin Timberlake himself once sang and then experienced, “what goes around… comes around.” Here, we have a former employee who quit after experiencing a severe case of burnout. Their horrible boss established a workplace environment that discouraged calling in sick

Need me some endorphins

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some people like to get creative with baby names, using names of characters, or making up your own. I once read of a couple who wanted to combine a Greek goddess with a Greek word, and the result was nothing less than horrifying and confusing. Honestly, just name your kids normal names . When someone has too unique of a name, they’re often not taken as seriously in the world. It can be laughable. But at the end of the day, it’s the parent’s dec…

Reserve seats at the dinner table for your doggos this Thanksgiving

We did a lot of things "for the last time" without even realizing it. We had our last visit to Blockbuster , picked our last movie, and it wasn't some big occasion—we just stopped going after that. We had our last LAN party with friends without knowing it at the time (that one really hurts). We also ate and drank things for the last time without realizing they'd disappear from store shelves, and we rode our bikes to our friends' houses for the last time without giving it a second thought . We l…

There's always that one coworker who knows how to get away with taking credit for everyone else's hard work. You put in the effort, lose sleep over the details, and then they swoop in, ready to present it all like they thought of it themselves. This exact situation happened in one office until one clever employee decided to turn the tables. After watching his entitled coworker repeatedly swipe his projects and pass them off as her own, he put together a presentation just for her. Packed with co…

Get it?

They sure do keep us on our toes

A purroper sendoff

You know that moment when you clean your house and think, "Welp, that's the best I can make it look. It's not much, but at least it looks acceptable "? Well, for some people (like me), it's the same for life in general—it's not much, but at least it looks acceptable at a glance. Am I good at my job? No, but they haven't fired me. Am I close to getting married? No, but I did go on a date six months ago. Am I able to do my taxes on my own? No, but at least I'm not in jail! (Yet. ) So, to all the…

Hosting events is a lot of work; there's a house to be cleaned, food to be prepped, and a lot of general setup that needs to be taken care of. When it's family, it's even more so to do—it's probably a good idea to hide the things your family won't approve of and save yourself the judgment. Family hosting schedules help to ease the burden of any one person having to host too often, and the reality is that for a member of the family to drop from hosting duties places a disproportionate amount of…

Chew on that

Not every mother-daughter relationship is going to look like best friends. We all know someone who’s best friends with their mother, but it’s not atypical for mothers and daughters to butt heads. It’s a lose-lose for both people, and both people ideally would love a good relationship with the other. But unfortunately, we can’t choose our family. Money is also a consistent point of contention in any relationship, especially family. When money gets involved, people start losing sight of things, a…
