That is both unbelievably creepy and hilarious. The only thing missing is glittery hearts drawn around the pictures.

"Mrs. Condoleezza Ghadaffi. Khadafy. Qadafi?"

"Mrs. Condoleezza Ghadaffi. Khadafy. Qadafi?"

Mrs. Condoleezza Rice-Ghadaffi.

Condi Ghadaffi

The only thing missing is glittery hearts drawn around the pictures.

That and photoshopping her head onto a naked body.

Rice-Ghadaffi.

This sounds like a casserole!

Also, the photobook is soooo funny!

I think the Condi photos are creepy, full stop.

What is it about her? First George Bush seemed a little too interested in her, and now Ghadaffi? I suddenly feel really sorry for her.

Whoa, that's really disturbing.

I have a coat problem. I have too many of them, and too many of them are leather. I mean, I'm looking at this and there's nothing special about it. It doesn't snap or pop or have coolness, but I still want it. I need help.

Speaking of help, I wonder if my new cravings are affected to my anti-depressants. To be honest, I'm feeling kind of manic. And I think I'm freaking people out, because I keep trying to drag them into what I want. I don't want to be manic, seriously.

eta: We've just been informed we have to start our emails with "Dear Recipient". Didn't that go the way of the dodo if you're not on paper? I need to send an email to the CIO, and I'll feel like a tool if I do it, but I'll obviously be flaunting yesterday's quick tip if I don't.

In "Should I be worried?" news-

My new boss starts September 1. I met with her and liked her, and she seemed to value my opinion. My dean loves her because she is smart and accurate. She does not have a customer service, marketing, or business background, and was told that she didn't need one. Customer service and marketing and event planning sorts of things are about 75% of what I do currently, although I am technically an admin assist. 3% of my job is admin support to the director, and the other 23% is class preparation for instructors.

Her background is in developing educational programs, and the reason she is chosen (over someone who had lots of ideas, and has a marketing and business background) is because they really want clearly defined, non-monetary goals for our program.

I feel like it can go 2 ways- I sort of completely take over the marketing/customer service aspects of the job while she develops new initiatives or we sort of stop marketing and servicing, and I do what the other AA's do, which is what their boss tells them to.

The worrying aspect is that TWO professors I REALLY like and get along with have told me that while nice and smart, she is (in their words) "incredibly anal and they could not work with her". I am SUPER prone to make small mistakes (typos, etc)and I am super messy, but with my last boss, the good qualities that I have made up for it.

The non-worrying thing is that another AA (who is similar in temperament to me, in terms of having an opinion on what we do) said she was wonderful!

Sophia - it is so hard to tell until you have worked together for a bit. Hopefully you won't have to drop the marketing/customer service aspects - sounds like that is what you like to do.

ita ! - we aren't required to specifically state "Dear Recipient" but are encouraged to have some kind of greeting first. I typically start with "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon". If I know the person, I might add their first name also.
