We've all experienced a work situation like the one in this ecard from someecards, and to fight it, I suggest the 2-minute rule.

So you’re turning 30 (or you’ve already turned 30, or you will one day turn 30), and you’re saying to yourself, “I’m so excited!” but also “I’m so scared!” (a reference that, if you get, by the way…

When I first started teaching, I didn’t quite know how to approach the drama section of our art curriculum.
