Potentially telling dialogue about a photo shoot I had to endure yesterday:
Me: I wish someone had told me the shoot was going to be yesterday. I would have worn some nice clothes. Instead I was dressed like a schlub.
Person in charge of the photo shoot: Well, we wanted to show the real you. Isn’t that how you dress every day?

What was this shoot for? Is it the start of a new modeling career for you? Have you left the world of journalism behind?! Inquiring minds want to know.

You'll see me on runways soon enough.
Nah, just an internal corporate newsletter. Photos turned out horrible.
