Today, I was turned down for a promotion, that I believed I was an excellent candidate for, on the grounds that the successful person had more experience. The same person who started at the job some two months after I did. FML.

Just because you were there two months before the other person does not mean you have more experience. The other person may have prior experience at the job but with another company. Even if they don't, two months is not a massive edge over the other person. Grats to them.

Today, my mom had big news. I've been trying to get her to quit smoking because of second hand smoke for 20 years. She learned today that secondhand smoke severely affects animals as well. Her big news? She's quitting. She doesn't want to hurt the dog. FML
