I am Emily. Emily is me.

My office is freezing these days.

I've got a new nickname.

Chubs.

As in Chubby.

It sounds cute, but I'd rather not associate myself with chubbiness or skinny-ness, thank you very much.

The nickname came about when a few of my colleagues saw my childhood photo and decided that I was a chubby kid.

And cute.

One asked, "Whatever happened to you now?"

As if it was positively criminal to lose both the chubbiness and the cute-ness.

I admit it. I'm neither now.

Everyone loves a chubby, cute kid. No one likes a skinny, morose lass.

Did I say I'm Emily?
