Good job, Jesse!

And, before I forget, great job, Ethan!

My favorite was a guy whose online dating profile didn't have any pictures at all, so I asked him for a photo, and he sent me his dick, not his face.

ARGH. People, you suck!

And now My Nemesis has asked me for a report on a project she went out of her way last year to make sure I would not be involved in. My draft reply is:

As nobody has provided me with any of the information regarding the new project at [site], nor has anyone asked me for a NEPA document, no, I do not have a signed Catex for that project.

Is that too whiny? Probably. t growls

Is that too whiny.

That's the type of message I usually send an "I'm confused" response to, i.e., "I'm confused. Did you provide me with information regarding the new project at [site], or ask me for a NEPA document? Because I can't find anything in my files."

ARGH. People, you suck!

Honestly, I charitably attribute it to the Golden Rule -- many many guys would be happy to receive a random body pic, so why wouldn't they send one??

I've stopped being shocked and horrified by politicians and sexual stupidity. I just sigh and shake my head.

I think my reaction to an unsolicited crotch shot would be "Dude, why did you think I wanted to see that?", followed by "Penises look weird," followed by delete.

Crack in the ceiling saga continues. We keep getting assigned to different claim adjusters. I wouldn't care if my husband wasn't explaining the entire history of the claim on the phone right now. Don't people take notes?

That's the type of message I usually send an "I'm confused" response to

Yeah, I just sent back a cheery "Nope, haven't been asked for one, and I recall so-and-so thinking we could just adopt [other agency's]."

The fact that I disagree with so-and-so is beside the point. I'm not in the mood to make life easy for My Nemesis.

Can't wait until my new boss arrives: he's a cheery late-20s engineer with (I suspect) no idea of the toxic swamp of entitlement and resentment he's being thrown into. Woot.

That's the type of message I usually send an "I'm confused" response to, i.e., "I'm confused. Did you provide me with information regarding the new project at [site], or ask me for a NEPA document? Because I can't find anything in my files."

My version of "I'm confused" usually includes, "Per my understanding of your emails dated [date], [date], [date] and [date], as of [date] my involvement in this project was discontinued and all project management became the responsibility of [name], [name] and you. If there are issues with current management of the project that require my assistance I will be happy to help, but due to the length of time since I was last involved I would need to meet with someone to be brought up to speed on it. I look forward to hearing from you with a clarification on the matter."

Then I never hear from them again.

JZ, that's just masterful.

I have taken to attaching old emails to my replies to My Nemesis, but quite frequently she fails to open them, I suspect.

I went round and round with her over the last few weeks, where she had asked my coworker D to prepare a report, and he'd sent the request to me, because it was for one of my sites. So I did the report, and sent it off to her. Three weeks later she emailed D asking him for a copy of the report; he forwarded me her email.

I sent her another email, attaching the original email with the report in it. Three days later, she emailed D again, asking if he had a copy of the report.

This time I just sat on my hands, waiting for her to ask. Eventually she must have found one of the two emails I'd sent her in her inbox, because she finally told D she'd found it. She never did reply to me or acknowledge she'd received it.

It must be exhausting to be so compulsively ... something. I don't even know what it is: manipulative? Determined to sideline me?

She never cc's me on anything if she can avoid it, even when it's clearly relevant to my program. So unpleasant.

You know, I really don't CARE about politicians sex lives; what matters to me is the pure lying, sneaking and horribly ineffcient cover-ups that showcase a certain lack in the intellect department.

Pretty much this. I mean, I try to elect people I think can govern not people I think would make a good spouse.

I think I want to start a consulting business teaching politicians how to not use the internets.

They so need it. It's actually a big topic in local politics and I spend so much time shaking my head screaming, "You cannot do this. It's a very public medium!"

Also, didn't this same thing happen to Pete Wentz?

One of many reasons he can't run for elected office. Still, not bad for a dick shot. Those pictures are rarely aesthetically pleasing to me and his was.

Actually the Weiner shot wasn't unattractive for a dick shot. But I am displeased that it was his because I'd hoped he was smarter than that.

Honestly, I charitably attribute it to the Golden Rule -- many many guys would be happy to receive a random body pic, so why wouldn't they send one??

This. It's not a good idea still, but I can see how the bad decision can be made.
