So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: โIs this person in between me and what I want to do?โ If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when youโre in charge, donโt hire the people who were jerky to you.
Tina FeyI was a little excited but mostly blorft. "Blorft" is an adjective I just made up that means 'Completely overwhelmed but proceeding as if everything is fine and reacting to the stress with the torpor of a possum.' I have been blorft every day for the past seven years.

(Some people say โNever let them see you cry.โ I say, if youโre so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.)
