I have a normal, full time weekday job as well as this one, which means no days off… EVER. It also means that when I want to take a vacation I have to ask off from two jobs.
Sorry I don’t live up to your employment standards because I took ONE weekend off for a vacation with my family that was planned long before I started working here. I’m sure you suffered greatly because of my absence.
Luckily, you don’t sign my paychecks. Beet does. And thank god for that.

Sorry my brief comment managed to be so over-your-head yaaaaaaaaaa.

I have a moment here in my busy personal life, so let me explain the point: someone who ONLY works on the weekends, and who has not yet completed what would be a normal probationary period at a new job, wouldn’t usually have been given two weekends off already.

I would assume that someone who takes a weekend job either expects their personal life to suffer, or knows how to work around that.

I think unpaid commenters can look as stupid as they want. Just as long as the entries are good.

I agree with you, paid writers should be held to a higher standard than commenters. But the commenter was complaining about something so insignificant, a slang usage that was hardly a capital crime, and not worth anyone’s time to complain about. And I wouldn’t have bothered commenting myself, if they hadn’t made much more obvious capitalization errors in doing so. Anon just made themselves look really stupid.

uhm not to mention, that there is life outside of the interwebz!
may she has a wedding or an important event to attend to, maybe shes just tired and needs some time with her family.
whatever her reason is, i hope she enjoys her weekend off. I know I am =)

Well wouldn’t you like to have a weekend off every now and then for your personal life….or maybe you don’t have one?

I agree that anon is taking it a bit too harshly since this IS a gossip/pop culture blog, but those of you criticizing the spelling in anon’s comment need to remember he/she is not getting paid for this. It’s not his/her business. It IS Beet’s whole business and she is getting paid for this so the two should be held accountable to two different standards. Beet can misspell all she wants in the comments section, but the entries should be up to par because it’s her job.
But once again, I thought vacay was fine, it was cute and poppy.

Oh and news idea- Rachel Alexandra won the Preakness. First Philly to do so since 1924 and I think 5th ever.

Since when does abbreviating a word constitute poor grammar, asshole? She used the word correctly, punctuated the sentence properly, and capitalized proper nouns. So how about you just shut the fuck up?
