What Would Joan Holloway Do?

“Joan, when is it ok to lie about your age?”

Generally, the rule is to round down within three years.

If you’re 28, then it’s ok to say you’re 25.

But if you’re 30 it’s also ok to say you’re 25.

If you’re 35, just don’t say anything.

“I fell for a man who lives on the other side of an ocean and doesn’t believe in monogamy. he likes me, but i like him oh so much more. how do i mend my broken heart and prove to myself how much better off i am without him?”

Any one who you have to convince to be with you isn’t worth convincing.

My workplace requires a uniform - an atrocious black polo shirt that’s three sizes too big for me, khaki slacks or skirt (below the knee), and closed toe shoes. How can I make my outfit more stylish and show off my slender figure?”

I would question further employment there. Any job that makes you dress this way relishes in punishing their female employees. A woman’s pleasing figure is a strong asset. Any company that doesn’t know that doesn’t deserve your sweat.
