Hope that doesn't give anyone a complex... Want to get ahead in your career? All you have to do is lose the saddlebags and spend an extra half hour on your hair every morning! That is the advice of career columnist and author Penelope Trunk, whose latest Yahoo! Finance column sent my internal monologue into, like, a million tiny fake orgasm-y yes yes yes oh godddddd yes-es....So, if you're overweight or even slightly overweight Trunk thinks that you should probably put aside some of your work, accept that you won't be performing as well at the office, and manage your image more closely by going to the gym. And then get your nails done. That's right -- get rid of that perfectionist streak, do a little less work, and use that time to make yourself look better. People will perceive that you're doing better work anyway...
Ok, it is depressing. Maybe go for a career-boosting run now? Or grab a beer, stay right the f**k here and take your paltry solace in the camaraderie of being a "young professional" because, really, could having an awesome "career" would be any more fulfilling? More fulfilling than a 6 pack of beer...not abs.
