When you’re just launching a business, no one blinks an eye if you’re balancing your own books, cleaning the office bathrooms or taking packages to the post office yourself. But the day will come when you’re going to need some help. Because no one’s ever been able to squeeze more than 24 hours out of a day, and your hours are literally too valuable to waste on small stuff. More

Can you get fired for second-hand exposure to marijuana? Cheryl Hale tells an Idaho news station that she was fired over a positive drug test after 16 years of work for a “major retail corporation.” Hale says she’s not a smoker, but her husband is.

When women are thrown in a room and then filmed for reality television, things can get pretty crazy. Even if there isn’t a designated competition they are supposed to be participating in, one automatically forms regardless. On the Real Housewives of Insert City, the cast competes on everything from who has the most money to friendships to who has the most important charity (which entirely defeats the purpose).

Even on cooking, modeling and adventure competition shows, the women are often portrayed as catty and crazy while the guys are just looked at as competitive. More
