UI Columnist: Use Your Brains, Not Boobs

I remember the first time opportunities surpassed me and went to “Ms. I Wear 3-inch Heels and a Little-Shorter-Than-Appropriate Skirt to the Office Every Day.” How aggravated it made me feel someone with half the experience got the opportunities I was working my butt off for. So, what do you do? You can be mad and send evil glares her way when she’s too busy flirting with your boss to notice. But then she is invited to some gala with him where she’ll meet all the big shots, and you’re stuck in the office catching up on paperwork she didn’t get done because she was busy having “meetings.” Or you could try her approach, yet try as you might, “You have a meeting with so-and-so at 10, and your wife called about faxing over the divorce papers,” just doesn’t sound nearly as sexy as her cooing, “Morning, Ben, that’s a great shirt — have you been working out?”/ Anne-Marije Rook , UI Argonaut.
