Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I should expect men to be dressing like Don Johnson the next time I go out for drinks?

Good to know. I'd hate to waste good alcohol on a spit-take.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Now that I know where you work, msbelle, would you be able to pick up comic books for me on a regular basis?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In other consciousness losing news, my boss just came to me to ask for a timeline of my every interaction on a certain project -- a spreadsheet with dates, times, participants AND A HARD COPY PRINTOUT OF EVERY E-MAIL.

Even if we weren't a paperless office, well, it's not like there's litigation afoot or anything. This project started in March. And I don't keep most of my sent e-mails. Nor logs of all my phone calls. The more I work on collecting the info the more fruitless it seems.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd think it'd be a good idea to at least keep your sent and received emails. You could archive them once a month or something.

But if your company has its own mail server, all the emails are probably backed up on it.

HMOG. And not in the good way, either.

Relatedly, my university email account automatically deletes anything more than two months old. And there's no way to get it back. Not sure if that's a special feature of having a student account, but it SUCKS for work.

Good lord.

I have a manager who would love it if I did that. But I won't.

Saw his "log" once. (some items approximated because I do not really waste braincells on remembering these things really) :

11:43-11:52 made grocery list->oil, flour, peppers

11:52-12:07 call to dentist, on hold 4 minutes

etc.

AND A HARD COPY PRINTOUT OF EVERY E-MAIL.

Could you cut and paste into one document (assuming you can find backups)? You could probably get 3-4 emails per page that way.

I keep backups of all my work-related email, even the, "Thanks for putting that online, kthanxbi" ones. It's very CYA and it has come in handy more than once. As in, "Yes you signed off on it, here's the email."
