Not sure what the hell your manager is thinking, how to ask for a raise, whether you might be in danger of getting fired, or more? Ask away.

    On April 1st one year I put a sign on the copier saying it was now voice activated. Office pranks should be *very* mild, if at all.

    The work prank I remember fondly: changing the error beep on someone's computer to Captain Kirk's dramatic recitation of the preamble of the U.S. Constitution. That was annoying. Rather than MASSIVELY TRAUMATIZING.

    I already have an update from the horrible prank letter. Trying to decide whether to bump one of tomorrow's posts for it or hold it for next week.

    Not to imply girls w/single moms are always more vulnerable -- but a sexist predator like him would think they were.

    When Roy Moore said he “always got permission from the mothers” of young girls he dated, why did he say “mothers” (not “parents” or for a sexist w/his views, “fathers”)? I think it reveals he targeted girls w/o 2 parents, who were probably more vulnerable, and did it by design.

    I sort of live for the Twitter threads where a bunch of the advice columnists weigh in on each other's posts like "I KNOW RIGHT OMG" (this thought brought to you by all talking about "work mom")
