When Yankee Candle announced its new line of “Man Candles” recently, we were utterly perplexed. I mean, really — why do guys need candles specifically designed for them?

Then we saw what the candles were named.

It has the motive. It has the means. Your cubicle is trying to kill you. The only escape is vacation. How convenient!

It was mighty painful to watch former “Today” host Ann Curry deliver her tear-inducing goodbye message yesterday — especially alongside smug ice king Matt Lauer, who lacked the decency to give her a televised hug or demonstrate sincere compassion — but even worse to see the Daily Mail’s response to the anchor’s abrupt ousting. The day following Curry’s final broadcast, the U.K. publication posted a story with the headline, “Out with the old: Savannah Guthrie takes over Ann Curry’s co-host chair on the Today show… just a DAY after her tearful farewell.”

As any career gal knows, the pressure to be “a lady” on the job can be, at times, immense. And that pressure also extends to female professional athletes. Consider that recent, idiotic debate over whether female Olympic-level boxers should be required to wear skirts. You thought that was silly? Well, brace yourself. The Women’s Tennis Association is launching an initiative this year to stop female tennis players from grunting. Yup.

It looks like former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s wife has finally decided what to make of her husband’s repeated improprieties, and allegations of “aggravated pimping.” His spouse Anne Sinclair has reportedly kicked him out of the house and called their relationship over.

We get by with a little help from our friends, and we should budget with a little help from our friends too. Attempting to be thrifty while pals blow money on lavish gifts and dinners can be a mood and friend killer. You want to eat dinner at a deli and watch a movie on the expensive cable you pay for, while they want champagne and first-class entertainment. Help one another keep the pocketbook at bay by inspiring a little friendly competition and shared savings goals. Even if you just save a little, you’ll both be winners.

Friday is so close we can almost feel it, and so could @Womenshumor. While you wait for Friday, here are some sweet tweets from Thursday to hold you over. We have humorous SCOTUS decision tweets, commentary on CNN’s slip up and the most dismal situation in daily life. Enjoy the tweets and count down to Friday.

EOD Thursday: The Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act today — and people had a lot to say about it on Twitter. And it was hilarious.

THE WORK DAY IS COMING TO A CLOSE, BUT THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF TIME TO CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY, WHICH ROLLS AROUND JUST TWICE A YEAR.

Jennifer Weiner has had multiple dream jobs, and there’s no sign she’s waking up anytime soon. She’s an author with multiple best-sellers, had her book “In Her Shoes” turned into a movie staring Cameron Diaz and Shirley MacLaine, and created and ran a TV series, “State of Georgia,” on ABC Family. And in her free time, she shares her thoughts on women and publishing or live-tweets The Bachelorette. For her latest novel The Next Best Thing, about a 20-something woman who moves to LA to try to make it in TV writing, Jennifer draws on her experience as a television showrunner. Read more.
