On The Next Generation of Job Seekers
I'll never understand people that hate on LinkedIn. I love having a "professional Facebook" because I certainly don't need my professional contacts or potential employers seeing pictures of my cat or my friend's birthday, but I still want to be able to be connected with them. I'm interviewing for a new job right now and I've scored a few interviews because I'm connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn that seems to know EVERYONE. I never would have been able to get some of these interviews without LinkedIn.

On What'd You Spend On Your Bed? Like $200? Does That Sound Right?
I can't speak to mattresses because I inherited mine from my best friend when I also inherited her apartment last December. HOWEVER, I ended up buying a cheapo IKEA bedframe and was like ugh about it but it was $49.99 WEL SPENT. It's not creaky at all and I love it. It's this one: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/80185066/

On A Thing About Mothers and Working That Won't Make You Scream
@lemons! In my job, all of my clients leave the office by 5 or 6, but the projects are still supposed to be delivered...so I end up working overtime so that they can see something in the morning. It's incredibly frustrating to talk to some of my clients and realize that they don't understand that I am also a human and not a marketing factory.

On Catching Up On 2012's Movies: An MLK Weekend Guide
This Is Not A Film is playing at the Living Room if you're in Portland. I feel like BOTSW was the biggest trick of the year. I hated it AND it made me cry.

On Why You Should Shop at Ethnic Grocery Stores
As a (recently) former Philadelphian, this piece is kind of killing me. The Cousin's markets are in actually bad neighborhoods. After eight years of living in Philly, in great neighborhoods and terrifying neighborhoods, I absolutely wouldn't go out of my way to visit Cousin's. There are a ton of Asian markets that I would take advantage of, but their produce was all pretty terrible. Yes it was cheap, but it was also old--even the ones in Chinatown! I would often buy a week's worth of produce only to see half of it go moldy on the second day. The meat was inexpensive, but I and my friends had good and bad experiences (stay away from the fish at Spring Garden Market) (also, when you buy meat, they just hand you the bag with all of the raw meat juices on it). I did appreciate having easy access to the "specialty" ingredients I need to make my favorite recipes, which is something I have yet to find in Portland.

On How Much Do You Spend on Groceries Every Week?
As a single person, I spend $30-$35 per week on groceries for me and then $10-$12 more for the nights I cook with/for my boyfriend and need a few extra items. So, average $45? ETA: Reading through the comments, maybe this number is really low? I eat out 3-5 meals per week as well. Maybe more? However, those meals are usually a slice of pizza as dinner, or a bagel at a coffee shop as breakfast so I didn't even initially count those as meals.
