  1. Paging Preg 3L

    I left you another comment on yesterday’s thread. Here is an article that deals with conservative southern baptist religions and new authors/preachers advocating scriptural basis for leaving abusive relationships. They are still very much the minority in that population but may give you the support you need to fight against the mainstream you are surrounded by.

    To everyone else – if you haven’t known someone deep in this religion you cannot understand the messages they have grown up hearing. Everyone should read this article.

  2. I thought the “How To Leave Work at 5 P.M. and Still Get Everything Done” post was kind of stupid really.
    In many cases, the employee CAN get all their work done! The problem is typically when you have a jerk boss who is so unorganized and/or merely being sadistic that has “emergencies” every day at 5 pm. I’ve also encountered the boss who wants to “have a chat” every day at 5pm that goes for a hour.
