I love this.


I’m steaming this and using it. It’s brilliant.


Yeah. Until you’re actually still doing the job in question and realize you’re completely dead inside.


Well that escalated quickly. Geesh.

It sounds like there is more to this story and they are using it as a catch but that's not why they both quit. It sounds like they both lost their clients/businesses or why wouldn't she just hire a nanny for a few hours a day or hire staff to do her job so she could be home.

The guy lasted THREE days??

Her husband could only last 3 days watching her son??

Good God, I hope he's embarrassed.
