Here’s the story of some friends on EE

… and they were having such a very boring day.

All of them had jobs at desks, 9 to 5ers

Emailing every day.  

You have to love the 21st century and its technological advances that allow for a group of friends separated by miles, areas codes, and county lines to sustain a correspondence for the past several years.  What exactly is EE?  It started out 7 years ago when a few of my friends were still weening themselves off chatrooms, but needed an outlet to the outside world while toiling away in their prison cells, I mean cubicles.  Email Express was born and with it came flooded inboxes of hundreds of daily emails.  While I loved the diversion from my daily tasks of appearing busy, it was more work to go through all those individual emails.  

Enter Gmail and the new age of organizing emails as “conversations” rather than singular correspondence.  Gmail had the appearance of a messageboard and the absence of job-related productivity reached unforeseen heights.  

So here’s a shout-out to my EE friends — Jessica, Roxan, Sarah, Diana, Young, Sally, Patty, Xavier, and Viet — whom I don’t get the chance see all that often anymore, but are still a big part of my day.  May we never take ourselves too seriously to send each other a daily reminder of the immature brats we once were (and still are in my case).
