Sometimes it’s hard to find words to get clues, but today’s puzzle was absolutely loaded with them. Probably due to the commonness of the words we were looking for.
The early days of office email were much more fun than the strictly business messages of today, when our INBOX is always fighting a battle against SPAM and phishing emails.
In the past, when there was less traffic and you could really control your messages, emails brought us Friday lists and jokes. Once in a while, the most brilliant thing happened when someone accidentally sent a personal email to everyone in the entire company. That kind of mistake could destroy one person’s career, but everyone else would enjoy someone else’s mistake that could easily have been theirs.
How was today? Send me an email and let me know.
