Shit, shit, shit. I have to write a bio of myself, for work. Third person, right?
Ugh. And yes, generally third person, AFAIK.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

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

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.

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".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. At the new office I have no privacy - my boss can see everything I do. So today I got busted for spending too much time on b.org. So it looks like I won't be spending much or any time here during working hours.
Sad now.

I have seen so many guys who almost completely dispel their appeal with too-thin, obviously tweezed eyebrows. I actually think too much grooming there looks bad on women as well, but at least there's a tradition of it for them.
