problems? it totally cracks me up as a way of communicating. example: an email i just got from one of dolan's friends' moms. i cracked up, and it made me wonder how she gets her needs met in life at all:
Shannon
I don't have your address to send Dolan an invitation to Max's party. Also I don't have Shamus's address either but I also don't have an email address.
Thanks
Jaime
i mean, are you kidding me? this is an educated and well-off woman, who exudes "i have my shit together" in person.

Maybe she suffers from "technological dumbfuckedness"?
I've seen it all the time at work; people who are "hot shit" in person sound like a bumbling idiot when transposed to digital text.

I work with a LOT of people who know Problemspeak. It sounds an awful lot like complaining. . .
This woman is different, but I think you'll appreciate this anecdote. Today I got a second e-mail from a co-worker I barely know that said this:
"Don't forget to send me the picture of Darren! I need it for his scrapbook."
Granted -- Darren is the seeing eye dog she is training, and I LOVE everything about that. I took a picture of him at an event a while back and sent it to her -- so she nabbed me at another event and that is the photo she "needs."
I need to pull it off my personal camera and email it to work for her.
I just wish she would ASK me for it, instead of telling me I need to send it to her.
