Oh, I get that too. I didn't think you would appreciate my sending emails that have no response. This is far more entertaining than "..." Or "---" Or " ." No?

This morning I found a photo of my friend Rachel from the 8th grade with whom I am still friends. Rachel wrote an alternate version of "KIT" on the back. She was such a rebel! She wrote, "Stay funny and weird. P.S. You love Piglet."

Nice to know I was funny (how so, I wonder? Unless she meant, "funny looking") in 1986 (I'm just going to ignore the weird part. Is that a compliment? I don't want to think about it anymore), but I have NO IDEA who Piglet was. That's just crazy. For me to have loved someone and to not remember it?! Unbelievable. I could write you a list - RIGHT NOW - of every crush since kindergarten. Starting with Jeremy Portfilio. But we'll save that list for another day and time. Now I want to know who was Piglet and why did I love him? Was Piglet cute? Did Piglet know I loved him? Where's Piglet now?

If he had just said in his 10:31 message that he had called him, I would've left him and his supervisors alone and all this would've been moot. MOOT. Moooooooot. Moot.

I like that I used the word "gentleman" in the original message. "Dude" was the word I would've normally reached for. Those classes in deportment are finally kicking in. Next is the book-on-head trick.

I have zero motivation today. ZERO. Zerrrrrrrrrro. Zero.

Random Co-worker, we received a call this morning on The Big Boss's line from a gentleman who applied for the Such-and-Such position (he said) nine weeks ago. He's been trying to reach you regarding the status of his application. Please give him a call and let me know what the outcome is. I will follow up later today.
