Everyone knows it’s not easy to slip out of the office for an out of town (or even an in-town) interview. There’s only so many relatives that can die and only so many times your baby can be sick. So BooneOakley has come up with a solution. To get you to their offices in Charlotte, North Carolina for an interview, the agency has Brenda. Brenda is a professional make up artist that will transform you into any number of situations that will allow for a “perfectly plausible” excuse for being out of work.

Someone really needs to make a repeating video loop of David Oakley inflecting “totally” with Valley Girl perfection.

The loneliest people in long marriages aren’t those who fight constantly — they’re the ones who settled without being truly in love and have spent decades maintaining a performance of contentment that nobody, including their spouse, has ever questioned

I spent forty years thinking that showing up and doing the bare minimum made me a good father and husband — and then at 65, I overheard my daughter tell her friend she loves me but doesn’t really like me, and I finally understood the difference

Research suggests the people society calls “wise” rarely experience it that way from the inside — what feels like wisdom to others often feels like exhaustion to the person carrying it, because knowing how things work doesn’t make them easier, it makes them clearer, and clarity without the power to change anything is its own kind of quiet suffering
