Ouch. The Daily Beast: Why Men Settle (via jessbennett)
Is this depressing or freeing? Is this cynicism or optimism?
My immediate reaction was: I’m so glad that someone else has had this thought, to the point that they believe it’s a universal condition.
Followed by: Wow. Upon...
Tell Us How You #promotewomen →
good:
Last week, we asked you to do your part to end the gender gap in your industry by promoting women through your networks. The five-minute task: Find three up-and-coming women in your field. Pair them with three established professionals. Then connect them via three quick, personal emails.
In the past week, we’ve heard from women nominated for bonuses within their companies, recommended to...

Apparently this saga is not over. (Uggh dot com slash whyyyy) However, that means I had an opportunity to get on Pinterest this morning.
(I’m sorry, or, you’re welcome.)

lots of pain. lots.
Well yesterday was a banner day.
12 hour work day (no lunch, of course). 6 days into my 17 day wait for an urgent-but-not-quite-ER-urgent medical issue associated with lots of discomfort. Plus major cramps (continuing today). Plus breaking up with the guy who I had thought was perfect, who I had been crazy about and told my family that I could see spending the rest of my life with. A draining...
