I’m participating in a panel discussion this summer and was asked to write my own bio to be published in the handouts. See if you can spot the differences between my version and the final version. (Names removed to protect the guilty.)

- I was sent the clean version of a work document. I can only imagine what the dirty one looked like.
- Someone asked if they needed to arrange information with my assistant. I have no idea who that is, but if they can find them they should let me know.
- I am required to have a formal portrait taken for a brochure. (I’m not sure why this is so exciting)
- I officially rescheduled snarky Thursday to Tuesday for this week, much to the bemusement of my coworkers.
Actually I believe most of these items occured because I was CC’d inccorectly on an e-mail. Aw well, maybe some day I’ll need formal portraits.
