Oh my goodness. The worst picture of me ever in the whole world has just been circulated to the entire company. Apparently part of the orientation process is to get your picture taken so it can be emailed to everyone. I managed to escape this unfortunate obligation for the entire four months that I've been employed here. Today, I was not so lucky. The worst part is, while most of the people who are at this very moment, no doubt studying and critiquing this hideous example of photography, have already seen me in person and can probably vouch for my relative cuteness, some of the people receiving this picture via email are people who work in our satellite offices in different parts of the country and have never seen me face to face. I've spoken to them over the phone plenty of times and now, every time they call and reach me, they're going to be envisioning this horrible picture. Great.  ¶ 5:23 PM
