My Husband Has The Summer Off Work. Will He Drive Me Crazy?
I work from home, and my husband is a college professor. During this most recent school year, our first together as a married couple, we were a pretty normal working pair: We’d have coffee together in the morning, he’d leave home for campus, I’d get to work, and he’d be home in time for dinner.

But suddenly my husband is free to do his own writing and reading, and basically hang around the house all day, every day, flaunting his big, fat summer vacation in my loser, year-round-employee face.

This May Have Not Been A Banner Year For Women In Film After All
It seemed like it was a great year for women in Hollywood with the box office and critical success of female-driven films such as Bridesmaids and The Help. For goodness sake, Bridesmaids sparked a whole film and television trend of female-driven comedies starring women and written by women. But according to a new report, “Females were ‘dramatically under-represented’ in the United States’ top 100 grossing films last year, accounting for 33% of all characters at a time when they made up nearly 51% of the U.S. population.

Marissa Mayer Doesn’t Believe In The Concept Of Balance
Marissa Mayer, Google’s Vice President of Location and Local Services, recently said she doesn’t believe in the traditional concept of work/life balance. “I don’t believe in balance, not in the classic way,” she said in a recent discussion with Tina Brown, Editor of Newsweek. Not everybody has the same definition of balance meaning eight hours of sleep, three meals a day, and time with their families.
