within the event horizon

The following search for information happened yesterday at work while I was preparing an upcoming deployment's plan. I wish I could say it was an atypical event.

Team member A: "My changes will also involve the system's GUI."
Serge: "When is the last time the system's GUI was changed?"
Team member A: "I don't know."
Serge: "Ask team member B, she's been doing it for a longer time."
(later)
Team member B: "Team member B doesn't know either. She suggested asking our team lead."
Serge to team lead: "When is the last time the system's GUI was changed?"
Team lead: "Ask team member A."

Rodin's Fist

No, I don't look like Hugh Jackman.

I've been telecommuting for almost 12 years, being in New Mexico while most of my team resides in the Bay Area. As a result, it hasn't been unusual for me to work with someone for many months before we actually meet. I still remember such a co-worker being disappointed when she realized that, no, I look nothing like Hugh Jackman. How had she be led to such a belief? Another co-worker, one who *had* met me, had emailed her a photo of Hugh, saying that I wasn't unlike him, but the obvious joke had gone over her head. Good thing she didn't take seriously the pictures of Godzilla being Serge-on-a-bad-day. That being said, I've never met my team lead, who's in Arizona, nor do I have any idea what he looks like. As far as I know, he both remain only voices to each other. That'll partly change as of today because our new Instant Messaging software allows us to post a photo of ourselves. I considered various possibilities, but they lacked the je-ne-sais-quoi that says professionalism, so I used my "Game of Thrones" picture. Unfortunately the Instant Messaging did some cropping of its own and so, instead of making me like Rodin's Thinker, it looks like I'm hitting myself in the face with my fist.
