    Number of handbags and pairs of shoes?

    I think I have eleven pairs of shoes (including boots) and five handbags. Two are evening bags that I rarely use.

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    However, I've often heard people say, "My friend found a job just as her unemployment benefits were about to run out."

    The Recession and Layoffs Thread

    Accounting Years ago, my apartment manager told me that in the 1930s, her father was a CPA and drove a new Mercedes. He was never out of work: people cannot put off doing audits and taxes. I decided years ago to get out of the crappy field of engineering and into something where I would...

    Antisocial.....is this normal?

    I'm a voice person. (I recognize actors more by their voice than their appearance.) I often used to get very flustered in person.

    Antisocial.....is this normal?

    No. There are various reasons, which may or may not apply to you or others. I think you are taking a step in the right direction by taking the intiative to socialize with others. If you wait, you could wait indefinitely--it's just the way it is nowadays. If you invite people, make sure they...

    My mother raised six kids and said she led a very lonely life. :(

    Antisocial.....is this normal?

    I love talking on the phone! So did my oldest sister. (I don't think we're like Trump, though--thank goodness.)

    Antisocial.....is this normal?

    There is a book called Bowling Alone that is about shrinking social capital. Yes, loneliness is bad for you. You just have to make time to socialize. Maybe the dishes have to stay in the sink for a night while you go out. Maybe some e-mails have to wait until morning. Is that so bad?

    Relax...dont do it?

    Is there any way you can look at this as a comedy of errors? It reminds me of a Marx Brothers movie.

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Been there. :rage: Now I advise people, when they are negotiating a job offer, to get the best wage they can up front and not rely too much on raises and bonuses.

    Relax...dont do it?

    So, are you relaxing yet? If not, try acupressure. It's really relieved some of my TMJ pain and helped me feel better in general. You can do it yourself.

    For Valentines Day...

    This reminds me of a sign I saw at an automotive shop: "If you love him, buy him a windshield." [huh]

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Don't let yourself be abused If business is good, the phone should be ringing constantly. At my last job, the phone hardly ever rang and the place was, as you described, like a morgue. They were losing money. If your customers are frequently calling and yelling, it sounds like your firm...

    Valentines and single.

    Good for you, The Shirt. Girls complaining about getting flowers reminds me of a joke. A woman found her husband in bed with someone else and demanded an explanation. The husband said she was homeless and needed a coat, so he gave her the old coat that she (the wife) didn't wear anymore...

    Flying While Wearing Vintage

    My underwire bras never set off the metal detectors. If you don't wear your garters, the terrorists will have won.

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Definitely get out of a bad working environment. I've gotten out of several--and I never had my utilities shut off or went hungry. As my father said, "I was looking for a job when I found this one."

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    In the past, is hasn't been proper to initiate a greeting to one's superiors, but this is a very fine point of etiquette, and I don't think anyone should be bothered if you wished them "good morning" or "good bye." If that doesn't make your next 273 days more pleasant, is there anyone else in...
