Truth. I actually felt bad for her daughter, so be called fat by their mother, PUBLICLY...and it's national news. The girl's self-esteem has got to be decimated permanently. I can't figure out how a mother could do this to their child.

Anyways, I just deal with thermostat controllers at my office (all women). They're cold when it's warm, they're hot when it's cool...I;m never comfortable and have accepted that I never will be. Another thing I hate...they LOVE working without any lights turned on. No wonder they all need contacts and glasses. Seriously, they will come in and never turn ANY lights on in the building, not even common area lights. I usually arrive after a couple of them and turn all of the lights on. I am NOT working in the dark. They all groan when I come in and turn the lights on. What?!?!? I get a little kick out of ruining their lazy atmosphere with proper lighting.

If I have a meeting or appointment and come into the office in the afternoon, the place will still be dark! Maybe they do this because they're self-conscious about how their BARE FEET look.
