I came home early today . I keep in contact with my staff in other cities through text or email as due to the time differences they work a lot later and may have an issue I need to resolve.

My computer broke. I sent a series of texts, each one crankier than the previous, saying how the computer was broken and I was doing my block trying to fix it.

The response. “Okay I’ve just sent you an email to tell you what’s happening”.

She’s blonde.

😕 Er, maybe it was just a lesser blonde moment than you thought? Maybe her idea was that you could check your e-mail via your cell phone? 😉

Or maybe her point was, everything’s fine on my end, so when your email is back up my email will be waiting for you with a status report.
