Generation X and Hustle Culture
So, I am Gen-X. I worked for a long time, mostly for Boomer bosses. I worked hard and I ‘paid my dues’. I worked many unpaid hours of overtime to ‘get ahead’ and it worked. I got ahead. I was promoted and paid well and I continued to work hard. I really enjoyed my job… Continue reading Generation X and Hustle Culture
Why Women Are Angry
We all know some of the reasons women are so angry. The pay gap. The glass ceiling. The disproportionate mental load we carry for our families. The guilt we feel as moms if we work.

To my Hacker

“Older Moms”
I recently saw an ‘open letter’ written by an “older mom”. She was mid-forties, with a fifteen, thirteen and ten year old. She was writing to the “young moms” (early thirties with young kids). I confess I did not read the letter past the introduction. I generally dislike ‘open letters’, finding them sanctimonious, generally speaking.… Continue reading “Older Moms”

I have zero scientific proof or anecdotal evidence to support my opinion, I just believe it to be true. So, I want to be… Continue reading People who Journal
Holy Shit
A mouse just ran through my living room while I was painting my toenails. I screamed because, obviously. Husband comes and informs me that “he doubts I saw anything because our (overweight, unconscious) chihuahua hadn’t barked”. I interrupted his speech by screaming again as it ran out from behind the couch. I will admit this… Continue reading Holy Shit
