This is with the old office, Consuela? Congratulations! About the paycheck, anyway.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

I need to go research a thing so I can tell someone that they can't do a thing on a call later today. How much do I not want to do that?
God, I need more caffeine. And Pandora, why did you think Coldplay is what I wanted to hear right now? IT IS NOT.

Yup, it's with the folks who laid me off last year.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I just got an extremely savvy marketing email. I bought a cute apron from Flirty Aprons last year, and occasionally they send me promo emails. This morning I got an email thanking me for my purchase and telling me that I would get an email confirmation when it shipped. Except I didn't order anything.
A few minutes ago I got an email saying "Sorry about the earlier email; it was a technical malfunction where we meant to thank our most recent purchasers, but it went to everyone in our database. To make up for the inconvenience, here's a coupon code for 15% off."
Well played, Flirty Aprons. Well played. (I don't think they actually sent out the first email as part of a marketing scheme to follow up with the lure of a 15% coupon, but I think that the second email will get people to buy more aprons.)
Spoiler: I'm not buying another apron. I already have 3.

Wow, Teppy. I got the same varieties of emails from someone I bought from a couple weeks ago and thought it was clever! I can't remember who it was, have to check my trash mail. Wasn't aprons though.

and thought it was clever!
Oh, I think it's clever, too. That's what I meant by "well played".
And if anyone wants to buy a cute apron and get 15% off, the code is SORRY15.

I looked and couldn't find the emails. If memory serves me it seems the emails were closely timed too. Like long enough for me to notice and think I hadn't ordered anything, then pow, the next one. They both were deleted though.

Yeah, the amount of yellow fever in just the first thirty seconds of that? Makes me sick.

I was really taken aback by that, myself.
