I'm getting the sense that maybe I should highlight "reads the whole e-mail" as a special skill on my resumé.
I do, lurking headhunters. True fact.
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My initial response was "Oh, this is what your boss means when he says you're incompetent!" So it could have been meaner. I don't know why she thinks I have the knowledge on how to do this, when a) it's her job and b) someone else trained her, theoretically, before they left the company.
And she's the one who drove away the only person in the company who's had hands-on experience with what she's trying to do--not to mention that if she'd tried it in the development environment like we'd all decided she should yesterday, she would not be asking these questions about production this morning.
And she's still not answering the question "How did it work out when you tested in dev?"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Jesus FUCKING Christ, coworker who is still technically on vacation, I'm sorry you are snippy about this thing that I didn't consult you on, but you have been out of the office for TWO WEEKS. If our higher-up approved the damn thing, please don't send me a fucking snippy email about it. I have REACHED MY LIMIT of snippy for the week.

'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"
Oh, I've been at several more F2Fs, but I think I met sumi, Liese and Sophia only that one time in Chicago. Same for some of the LAistas, at the LA one.

ita - serious question. Why does her boss keep her if he thinks she is incompetent? I do not get this, there are a lot of unemployeed people - hire someone new. post haste.
a women at work found a black kitten on her porch last night and is trying to find a home for it, but no one at work is interested (because they suck).

Can she mail it to my mom?
ETA- I seriously feel like I am being visited by Biblical Plagues. My rash is mostly cleared up, and now I have a boil!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have a rainbow cupcake. A local vegan bakery is selling them, and giving $1 from each purchase to Garden State Equality, as a response to the Chik-fil-A thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish Sophia. Maybe you could fly down and pick it up for your mom!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Her excuse for asking me for the information she'd already had since yesterday? "Oh, I didn't read past the image". Glad to know you put such a high bet on me answering your question that you don't bother reading the whole email (it was a dialogue box--it's not like there was heavy scrolling involved) to see if it's there--it is clearly simpler to keep asking the question than to read the answer.
I suspect she's waiting for you to just do it all yourself.
And she's still not answering the question "How did it work out when you tested in dev?"
Oh no, she's answered that one, she just didn't use words. The answer is "I didn't test it yet."
