You’re gonna hog the laptop until bedtime again, aren’t you? What if Lexi had important things to do, like pay bills or blog on Tumblr? #lexi #lexisworld #dogs #dailylexi #dogsofinstagram

My itchiness is much improved!! Can I stop getting Benadryl-filled cheese now? (Mom’s answer: one more night, at least… So, no…)

So… It’s okay to add a shot (or 4) to a Mike’s Hard Strawberry Lemonade frozen pouch (adult juice box), right?

Asking for a friend… Or… Lexi. That’s it. I’m asking for Lexi.

We really need to work on her alcohol addiction.

Look, if you’re going to come sneaking up behind me when I’m in my office with the desk that faces the wall (not by my design or request) and you’re going to continue to do so AFTER I’ve expressly requested you not to do so… and, if you’re going to engage in tactics that block the only exit, leaving me trapped in my office, I am not going to feel safe at work and I AM going to get a bit snippy with you… (As a woman who has been attacked before by a then “friend”, I was alarmed and quite scared that my only exit was purposefully blocked, with him putting his entire body in the door frame.) Blocking anyone into an office is an unacceptable practice. Period.

….don’t be surprised when you have the audacity to complain to our boss about me (multiple times) and request a sit down meeting with me that our boss tells you that’s just not going to happen because this issue is just not that bad (on my part) and tells you that she is scheduling you to go to sexual harassment training and that it’s way overdue.

But thank you for adding to my stress level, because I have honestly been putting in an effort to communicate quite kindly to you over the past few days since you brought this up the first time to our boss, and have done so at her request. Repeatedly bringing up your displeasure to our boss is not going to have the result you think it will… Especially when she sees that I’m making an extraordinary effort, and that I’m not bringing up the long list of issues I have with you, something she’s well aware I’m not doing because she and I both want an uncomplicated, happy work environment.

Look, I get that you don’t understand male privilege or that’s part of what’s going on here… and your case would look so much better if you would do what our boss asks you to do, but you don’t… and even worse, quite frankly, the behaviour I’ve seen exhibited over the past few weeks would be enough to get you terminated in any other office.

But now… you’re completely stressing me out… and I am going to do as requested, but dude…. c’mon. You’ve got to at least understand about the blocking me in my office, right? I mean, before you get to your “training”, right?

humansofnewyork:

“I’m a Brooklyn Assistant D.A. I work on domestic violence cases— many of them homicides. Some of the crime scenes are just gruesome. It’s the same stuff soldiers see in a war. I see this stuff, I smell this stuff, it’s hard to get out of your mind. And even when I win a case, it’s hard to feel like I’m making a difference. It’s a never-ending cycle of violence. The offenders are so likely to offend again. And the women are likely to go right back to them, or find themselves in a similar relationship. The work is so tough, and it feels like I’m not even making a dent.”

Something about me leaving this in this spot for those who enjoy it to do so at their leisure.

Enjoying this at my leisure.

“At my leisure” is a synonym for “with my hands down my pants”, right?

Good.Lord. Is it hot in here or is it just me?

I forgot to add that Sir Paul played Back In The USSR for one of his three encores and in the middle of the song, “FREE PUSSY RIOT” flashed on the screen behind him, big as a football field.
