What I'm Reading: Bossypants

So just in case anyone didn't know

Tina Fey

is my spirit animal 

I've been waiting for this book to come out

for months

*

Now that I've got my hands on it

I've been trying not too read it all in one sitting

savoring it like a fine wine

This quote kept drifting back to me 

while I lay in bed last night

This is what I tell young women who ask me for career advice.

 People are going to try to trick you. To make you feel that

 you are in competition with one another. “You’re up for a 

promotion. If they go with a woman, it’ll be between you

 and Barbara.

” Don’t be fooled. You’re not in competition

 with other women. You’re in competition with everyone.

 Also,

 I encourage them to always wear a bra. Even if you don’t 

think you need it, just… you know what? You’re never going to regret

 it. My dream for the future is that sketch comedy shows become

 a gender-blind meritocracy of whoever is really the funniest.

 You might see four women and two men. You might see five men

 and a YouTube video of a kitten sneezing. Once we know

 we’re really open to all the options, we can proceed with

 Whatever’s the Funniest… which will probably involve farts.

- Tina Fey
