I want a smackdown between Jaya and this complainer: http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-picky-eater-at-th...

OH I thought you meant your paleoanthropologist friends, and I was all DO IT! Then I read more comments and realized I'd made a mistake

I ordered some but they were too small. Instead of exchanging, they sent me a new pair and said to give away the original to "literally anyone." Score!

It's a goddamn aye aye hand.

Goddamn aye ayes and their goddamn nasty single finger. Goddamn evolution for making it so.

I worked at a very small company (3-4 employees), but I was the only one on-site at boss's home office. Over the months I worked there, it became clear that the boss was becoming more reliant on alcohol, and at one point asked me whether it was ok to buy Valium online from India (I told him no). Eventually he went to rehab for a week, during which I had to take care of the office and all the business, which was a difficult situation as I was a fairly new employee. After that everything was ok for a few months, until it started to happen again and he was definitely also taking the Valium from the internet but I didn't think it was my responsibility as an employee to take care of him personally, so I just focused on being really great at my job. I didn't know if it was my place to tell him drinking 40s at 10am was not really the best business practice. There was more crying from an adult who was not my friend than I was comfortable with. He was also having marriage problems and got kicked out of the house, which was difficult as the office was at his house. Eventually the other employees quit and I was the last one. When he went to rehab the second time after a DUI ("I was just trying to move my car so I didn't get a ticket!" he said, and I told him that he should have rather got the parking ticket than the DUI) I said I'd stay and take care of everything, but on the train home I just started crying into a pad I had in my bag because I didn't have tissues and called to quit later that day.

This definitely isn't inspirational or helpful at all, LW1, but just saying I feel ya.

I've always been fascinated by why people convert, either to a different religion or to a more observant form of their childhood religion, particularly since The Trend in most of my circles is to be as irreligious as possible. It can be so difficult to reconcile why you have these intense personal desires to do something that's "unfashionable". I have a number of friends who have converted at the same time as transitioning genders, which I also find really interesting.
Can't wait for more!
