Friday was Halloween, and it was a mighty slow day at work.  Lots of people worked from home that day, my costume was crap, I didn't have much to work on, and so I started drinking beers out of the office fridge around 3pm.  I got a little tipsy and was happy to find some of my Texas friends on IM, so I was typing along and giggling and not 100% paying attention when I got this error message from Microsoft Outlook:






Apparently I tried to snooze a meeting for "eye" minutes.  And Microsoft did not like.

Hello,

I take the #15 bus every evening to get home from work, and I wait for my bus at the 1st and Pine stop right outside your storefront.  The smell of incense even a few doors down from your store is extremely overwhelming, and on some days, flat-out nauseating.  Do you think maybe you could tone it down a bit?

If not, maybe you should consider selling dust masks at a kiosk outside your front door to the other bus commuters who aren't as interested in the odor of patchouli as you are.

Thank you,

h.k.

Good Morning:  I read an article last week and I thought about your friend who just moved to Seattle.  It was about couch surfing.  There is an organization that will get you in touch with people that will let you sleep on their couch while you are traveling.  And, sometimes they take you on sightseeing trips in their towns. Anyway here is the address, I though you might sent it to her to check out:  CouchSurfing.com It sounds just like something she would enjoy.  Hope you are having a good weekend.  We went to eat at Auntie Bo's last night and Jan said to tell you that she ate green beans and new potatoes for you.  It was really good. The Blue Angel Air show was awesome yesterday.  Love,  Mom

This reminds me of an amazing email from my own mother that I received a few years ago:

I found an American Quarter Horse coloring book that has several horses that I think will work well. Love, Mom

Lifehack tip of the day: I highly recommend starring such emails in your Gmail account for quick reference later when you're having a bad day and need a little love from your mommy in your day.
