THINGS NOT TO TELL YOUR MOTHER
This should just be standard mailing list functionality. In fact, an add on to a client that checks your to and cc lines every time and asks "Are you sure you want to tell your mother this??" might be useful.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

Some mail systems make access to mail group addresses very locked down -- a reply all will bounce back at you if you try. At HMCo, a department- or company-wide email had to be forwarded to the IT mail team to be sent out.

THINGS NOT TO TELL YOUR MOTHER
There's a sub-category of Things You Told Your Mother and She Forgot, which is even more fraught. The other night Dad called me and put her on the phone so she could yell at me for selling their condo without telling her about it. Fun times!
IONallaboutme, I just learned that the period of performance for my contract is up at the end of this month, although there's enough money to keep it going for another six or eight weeks. But between that and the looming sequestration/furloughs/hiring freeze, even if they do want to hire me, they may not be able to. Joy.

Good lord, Consuela. I am aghast.

Because books.
Jesus, Consuela. I'm sorry.

First line of defence failed here. Yikes. But more yikes about the lovely morass of rules regs and requirements that make doing your job harder than not.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't know what to make of the paintings, but this is what struck me:
Correspondence obtained by the hacker indicates that at least six separate e-mail accounts have been compromised, including the AOL account of Dorothy Bush Koch, daughter of George H.W. Bush and sister of George W. Bush.
Koch? As in *that* Koch family? How did I not know this?

Consuela,
I read your post and literally put my head in my hands right afterward.

Thanks. I just... I hate to use tumblr-speak, but I can't even. It's just so frakking ridiculous.
I do think they should be able to extend the period of performance, but if there's an indefinite hiring freeze as a result of sequestration I don't know what to do.
