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

I think I read The Matchstick Girl once. I got it. I didn't need that again. God, the man was bleak. Didn't they remake that with the Rudy girl?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yes

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Groupwise (Novell) had a great and completely transparent recall -- if you hadn't read it, it disappeared from your inbox.

That's what we have at school! But I have never recalled a message. Now I want to do that all the time.

Pros of Groupwise:

  • transparent recall
  • delayed send (you can make it look like you were in the office until 7)
  • detailed status (you can see not only if what you've sent has been read, but if it's been deleted)

I intend to vote, but I can't figure out who's running, or why I should vote for or against any of them! It's city council and school board, which means they're probably various flavors of liberal democrat environmentalists, but how can I know what flavors?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

For some reason I'm convinced that's my favourite fairy tale, although it feels modern for a fairy tale. I have no substantiation for that.

Well, Andersen wrote it in the nineteenth century, so compared to a lot of fairy tales it isn't all that old.

Part of my job involves sending out mass emails to, like 10,000 people all working here. The first one I did, I had my boss proof and she missed something, so she had me recall it. I corrected it and sent it again, and then HER boss asked us to recoll it and change something. Then I sent it again.

I feel like every one of those 10,000 people hates me personally now, since what we are sending is basically spam (we want them to take our classes).

But is it set more recently than the average fairy tale? Is there a cutoff for the setting of the genre?

But all that stuff only works if your recipient has the same software, no? Well, except the delayed send.

I think someone tried to recall something they sent me once. I got this very cryptic followup email that was part garbled code, part automated message about deleting earlier email. I read the offending email anyway. It was lame.
