When you look like that you get to have sex with Catherine Deneuve.
Going back, I forgot to reply to Cindy about the face mutilation. You're right, of course, that there's a power to the face and our sense of identity. There's that whole subgenre of melodrama about women whose faces are scarred (notably,
A Woman's Face
in both its Ingrid Bergman and Joan Crawford versions). And a whole subgenre of horror films as well (mostly deriving from
Eyes Without a Face).
But also the tradition of
The Man Who Laughs.
But I also think I react to institutional cruelty and mutilation. Where it's culturally sanctioned to cut somebody's hands off for an offense. Not just torture but redefining somebody's body against their will.
I'm not sure I would have noticed this had it not been pointed out....

But now I can't un-notice it....
Wow, I have literally no meetings next week. And both of the coworkers I talk to the most, as well as my boss, are out of the office. Theoretically, I will Get Stuff Done. Realistically, I will be bored out of my skull.
Well, especially given the composition of that shot...
Surely, they have to have noticed...
Seriously, every corporation needs a "That's what she said" intern. Just some college student to run things by, and see if they giggle uncontrollably.

I emailed HR this morning asking if I was to remain an employee into next week since no one had asked me to turn in an updated letter of resignation yet. I have never received one official thing from HR about transitioning to a consultant. My boss had emailed me two weeks ago that today may be my last day as an employee or maybe the 13th. Today, no word from anyone. I feel like I have given them over half the day. I am over my required hours for the week, so I am going to log off and be done. right?

Oh dear.
But that did make me laugh....
