Perhaps I need to work on my image at work

One of my rare female co-workers sent me a link to an article in New York Magazine with the following note:

the Auburn Phillies, yelled that she had made two mistakes: "The first was you
put on that uniform and came out here as an umpire. Your second mistake was you
left the kitchen." When the game ended, Gera resigned.
