This is so true....

wait, you're NOT all sexy? well sorry, but saving lives and healing the sick is pretty sexy in my book.

Do people not go to libraries? Our community library plays a big role in the community.

Yup, thats what my friend keeps telling me: "We are just much better in using google than anyone else."

Sadly enough that does not only count for pictures...

Listen to scientists and don't vote for Trump

I certainly wouldn’t ask you for marriage advice if you were married 5 times though. Just as I wouldn’t go to a dentist who doesn’t have any teeth.

HOLY C**P YES!

As my families IT-technician (because I do work in IT) I can relate to this so much.

As a writer I got always a similar question: "Is your editor correcting typos and grammar?" Ehm, no, that is the job of the corrector. The editors job is.. see above

is she the branch manager?

This 100000x. Yes cut your carbs, get skinny fast, but as soon as you start back eating them...

Massagists have unfortunately a bad reputation from all the frauds in this area :(

I could say the same thing about Graphic Designers. People want amazing logos, corporate image, websites, campaigns and all.... but they don't want to pay for it, because.. "their niece could do better in powerpoint".

Wow, people are so thoughtless these days 🙄 🤦‍♀️

Yes yes yes!!! I was going to add this if it wasn't here!! I'm a medical social worker. I work in a hospital and some patients have a terrified look when I say I'm a social worker. I work for a hospital not child protective services. It blows my mind that the general public has no idea how many different kinds of social workers there actually are.

That is true (go, Jay, go!) - but is it eye-opening? I thought that was common knowledge.

No, but some people don't like the alcohol they do get to be so diluted.

haha, nice. I can't believe, this doubt is a real thing in the US

well not with that attitude you won't!

Also, archaeology is not the same as anthropology, though of course a person could be doing work that falls under both, and they may work together. (Side note: Basic cultural anthropology should be a mandatory course in high school. Might undo some of the myths that abound, at least in the US, such as that traditionally women were subservient.)

Yeah! I'm really disappointed now!! :Þ

Well, I've excavated abroad. And a couple of dudes, too...[rimshot!]

But Josh Gates...

and they probably get a lot of "dig it" jokes.

but you all wear curly wigs right? RIGHT?!

One things that annoys me so much is when people translate idioms from one language by just directly translating the words. That's not how it works. You need to find the closest meaning of the idiom itself, not the words it contains.

I am tutoring an intern right now and make sure SHE benefits from this work experience. Coworkers who tried to give her their work to do would soon learn that they have to go through me...so this was nipped in the bud.

Most know this by now but wish we didn’t.

Just ask the Republican Party and Trump.

Stidies

Sorry Debbie, you kind of do. I was in pharma sales and guess what? unless you are not in a drug store or a grocery store, you are mostly paid to double check what under paid pharmacy techs do for you. And guess what? You get paid 6 figures and the Pharmacy Tech gets barely minimum wage. Yet they do the yeoman's work. Sorry. I know I'll get down voted, but you aren't mixing in a compounding pharmacy or working in a hospital, you are a pill counter and a consultant at the checkout window. And telling people on which aisle the cough syrup is at.

I am sorry, but I love that. Did actually really someone ask you if you can read his mind? That's hilarious.

Working on the client side I found I was frequently presented with ideas I'd seen several times before.

The problem is the health care system for humans and non humans alike in the USA. I have lived in first world and third world countries. And only in the US are the costs the way they are. Countries with both free public (100% free) and non free private care, the latter is still 90% less than if you do have insurance in the US. For pet care, procedures and minimal routine care is not supposed to break the bank. And don't get me started on dental care. All you need to do is talk to others who have lived in countries that actually provide a standard of health care that is decent. Only in "America" there are horror stories of how unaffordable getting sick is.

Howard Goodall wrote the theme songs for Red Dwarf and every Blackadder series.

Tell me about it... All the majors I know are actually somewhat grumpy or overly serious people, and a lot of the minors around where I live seem quite jolly...

Neil, are you an expert animator? Obviously not, as Animation is Art, and to do it well takes time. BitCoin is make believe computer money, only supported by popular demand, which will disappear when the "next big thing" comes along. Quit being an a*s.

Some are discovered and reinvented through stepwise processes in the lab.

My moms a teacher/professor and an adjunct (I think that’s the word) and i can tell it’s really hard

Don't you tell me Dave still has that rickety ladder. I've told him 100 times to get rid of that thing.

And for that same reason: No, I don't need a picture from the opposite side.

Let's also agree, that by definition, English is the most "tainted" language in the Solar system. It is the most-spoken second-langauge by a huuuuuge margin. Germanic-languages aside, English is poorly understood, both grammatically and particularly, in tone by almost every other language. Slang lives outside the grammar and diction, and cannot be used to compare "right or wrong use" of English. The purpose of grammar, diction, and tone, (in any language) it to make sure the thoughts and feelings expressed in your mind, are verbally communicated as close as possible in your words. Less ambiguity, and a closer understanding of what the mind and heart are attempting to express.

aaaand its not easy to be creative all day everyday. Also we don't get paid enough :)

Unless you are pointing at a bag of cement

Isn't that the same for all kind of teachers?

But then again : no tv series are... especially not "reality" shows

Never knew what it was compared to a PT. Cool!

Only idiots could think such nonsense. Everybody who ever had a serious injured or ill kid (or once was one) knows otherwise.

First off, Balls, you don't know for certain that they work for a local paper---they might be local TV newscasters. Second, I didn't see any grammatical felonies in the statement. Quit being a grammar narc.

How so? I want to know!!!

I want my coffee to be tea. *sigh*

@Katharine - have you read my grocery list

But how :> tell me moar

Sister in law worked for a nonprofit making near nothing for the area, while the Vice President pockets massive amounts and CEO lays low and acts like “oh, I only pay myself 40k a year” but we all know that’s not their only means of money (lives in huge house to say the least).
