An email from from friend Marcos, reminding of my more bumptious days from when I worked at Liska + Associates. I had some brilliantly stupid idea to label different hairstyles as esoteric vocabulary words for a project for American Crew, and one word was Bumptious. The client hated the idea, and I let him know in not so many words that it was actually a great idea and maybe it was him that was just a bad idea, and then he pretty much thought I was bumptious, in my own right, as a 22 year old who thought she knew everything. It took me about nine years for people to forget about that one stupid presentation. And I guess it still has not been forgotten. The ridiculous things we do in our 20s somehow always come back to haunt us.
