I went back to the office Thursday. It was still half empty (but, oddly enough, I had more minor cow orker interruptions in one day than I usually get in a week -- questions, guy showing up to deliver the 2008 calendar, and more questions),

When I got in, there were three messages on the machine. One was a normal information request, and the other two were apparently the result of a small child playing with a phone.

One of my cow orkers just sent a blank test e-mail to everybody. Several dozen others replied asking what it was about. I know this because they used "Reply All".

Correction: It wasn't exactly a blank e-mail. It had a 2 MB attachment. I don't know what it is because I'm not stupid enough to open unfamiliar files sent to me for no apparent reason.

Aaaaargh.... 


PS: While cleaning the flood out of my inbox while watching out for any actual messages, I noticed that two of the inquiries about this message apparently came from a LOLcat and a profound cynic:

"Anybody has an answer??"
"I have no ideal."

Maybe I should save it for next year.
