Email

So, I haven’t been able to send email at work for the past week. I can still receive email just fine, just can’t send it. One of my coworkers didn’t have email at all, so I definitely wasn’t a high priority. He had to resort to making copies of a memo, hand carrying them to a meeting, and said “To” as he handed it to the first person, then “CC” as he passed out the rest.

This made me feel a little less embarrassed today when I replied to his email by printing it out, hand-writing a one-sentence reply, and then dropping it on his desk with a big “Re” at the top.

 

Visitors!

Ooh, what an exciting week this has been! :) Squidgey was in town last weekend. Unfortunately, it was a sad occasion, but we still got a chance to hang out. She, my sister, Ian, and I got together for lunch at Coastal Flats and learned all about how Omaha has no Chinese delivery restaurants. So, for all you entrepreneurs out there, polish up your heavy Asian accents. We’re going to take over!

Yesterday, I slipped out of work a little early to hang out with Eepie! She flew in from Peru and shortly after that, with her 55 pound suitcase in tow, arrived at the metro near my office and we hung out for the afternoon. Showed her around my place and we caught up for a bit before the call of Animal Crossing overcame us. I finally visited her town and we did our best to catch the new summer fish, pulled each other’s weeds, and got rid of our native fruit. Very productive trip.

Fast forward a couple hours and Ian got home from work. We all hung out until Eepie’s boy got out of work and through traffic. Then, we met him at a nearby Thai place for dinner. Dinner was good, then we made a brief trip over to Dairy Queen before calling it a night so the tipsy (from 3 sips of her boy’s drink, of course) Eepie could get to bed.
