Shit, shit, shit. I have to write a bio of myself, for work. Third person, right?
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
sara, in regard to your shopvac box getting wet, once at a "community shred" (they bring in a dozen industrial shredders and let people bring in bags and boxes of paper to shred) I saw someone had packed their papers to be shredded in the box their home shredder came in.
and Sheryl, sorry about the mess. You really shouldn't have to face that kind of thing before you've fortified yourself.

Ugh. And yes, generally third person, AFAIK.

My sister tipped me off to the rising trend of manicured male eyebrows in Jamaica
I think it's a generational thing. Definitely a lot more young guys are doing it.

Thanks. I just was asked by my COO. Evidently the CEO has "an interested party in me." Gulp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think *anyone* should spend too much time on their appearance, but, seriously? All the "you can't have better shaped brows than me!" comments are buying into the Platonic ideal of eyebrows and then denying it to men. So not fair. So, if it's not ruining the rest of your life, groom as you wish. And leave me to not groom as I wish.
That whole thing was bizarre.
Maria, just a regular professional bio? "Maria N has been at [job] since [date]. She joined [firm] from [previous job]. Her areas of responsibility include [this, that, and the other]. She holds a [degree] from [school]." Repeat the various sentences as necessary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Definitely a lot more young guys are doing it.
Now you're going to make me stare at Americans. Will this never end? Also, CIO, please reply to my email! Breaths are bated! Hooks are tentered!

Jesse, yes. I was told to focus on any sustainability initiatives, which spans multiple jobs.
Thanks so much!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You should refer to yourself throughout the entire bio as "Bob Dole".
