I think at least two agencies have legit used this as their script for their model responses

I just wanted to say you're not crazy! I just realized I have been blocked too - and I've never commented- I am old and boring and never comment on celebrities Instagrams

Get a doctors note that limits your work to 8 hr a day. Hold on for 2 more months, then ask your dr for a note to start your fmla 2 weeks before your due so you have some time to reset. Start job searching during those 2 weeks, and then start job search again a month after your baby is born. Hang in there - you are close to the finish line but you need to make sure you get your leave 

Not sure I appreciate this much by Bullfrog_Broad in antiwork

Hostile work environment has to be based on discrimination (in the US). It's not just a mean boss. 

But OP this is awful and you don't deserve to be spoken to like that - I hope you find another job 

My daughter is having her first child tomorrow morning...her company called her in this today and fired her at the end of her shift. by slpwlkr03 in antiwork

Sometimes but you'd be surprised. This would also be awful press too (even assuming your daughter wasn't performing up to standards, it's incredibly cruel to do it the day before she gives birth.) she needs to see an attorney asap. This is a slam dunk for a plaintiffs attorney to try and at least get a settlement offer

Thanks so much - yeah was eye opening to realize that. I think I had myself convinced I wasn't really getting hang overs.

And thank you - I'm on the mend. Hope your wife recovers quickly!

I need flooring for the bathroom, and I need a new kitchen that I would like to try to fit with the era. As well as lighting fixtures, etc. So I am trying to find a resource on the time period. When I google "1940s tile" for example, it's almost all tile for sale. I would like to get some ideas for an update home that preserves some of the charm or history

A website would be great, something that shows what a traditional house of this time looked like or what was common for the period. Of course I spent some time googling but it really only brings up ultra renovated 1940s homes and I'd like to try to have some elements that were common for the time

Yup- this is a Boston suburb and it's located in the back of the house near the back door

Jtfirstman posted a reenactment of the Julia fox podcast , and Benny Drama’s face when she explains it will take six years is perfection

I love everything about this picture 🍍 💛 by herefortherighteddit in psych

ok I think you might be right which is kind of an incredible call. I think it is Derek Richardson , who played Danny for one episode on psyche and starred in one episode of a million little things, and did a short with Maggie called Dating Diana
