Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good job, Jesse!

Thank you.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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??

But what female anatomy pic is going to obscure size with an absurd shot? No one's going to look at my tits and say "ooh she's got perky ones!" even if I shoot it from mars.

Goodness Consuela.

I would be tempted to go passive aggressive and pop my head in her office and say "you know, I think your email account is having some difficulty because I don't believe you are receiving some important email messages I have sent. I fear you are missing other important email messages as well. Have you been having difficulty?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wear a pushup bra. Squeeze them between your arms. There are lots of tricks.

True 'nuff.

And they're always talking about their balls. I'm sure there is some teense percentage of women who care but really, that's a pretty boy concern.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Ack! I'm also sorry about the Weiner news. (Even that sounds sadly funny.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would be tempted to go passive aggressive and pop my head in her office and say "you know, I think your email account is having some difficulty because I don't believe you are receiving some important email messages I have sent. I fear you are missing other important email messages as well. Have you been having difficulty?

I would do that, too, but instead of having a F2F conversation, I'd e-mail her and copy the IT department and her boss.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Here I am in the bout Saturday night!

Tempting, but no, it doesn't work. Nothing works. She in fact deletes email on purpose so that nobody can know what she's working on, or when. She never saves anything to the public/shared drives, either, so if you need something she's working on and she's not around, you're SOL. She outright lies about what she's doing and constantly misrepresents the status of her projects. She blames other people for her errors and undercuts the more junior staff she's supposed to be mentoring. At one point she had a bunch of project files hidden away in a locked cabinet so nobody else could access them and nobody could find out how much work she wasn't getting done.

But she reports to the division chief, not my boss, and he won't hear a word about her.

Which is another reason I cannot wait for the reorganization to be finished, when I can finally go up the chain of command and ask to have my projects redistributed because she's "Clearly too busy."

God, Connie...I'd have long ago killed her. That's ridiculous.

You can TOTALLY make your tits look bigger, if that's what you're going for. Or even not--there are definitely shots of mine where I'm like "Wow, that's...not representative, but awesome!"
