When someone asks me for an email address of someone that isn’t in my contacts list, I often rely on the “address popup” feature of Outlook to find an address for me. It’s nice enough to keep track of who I’m sending email to, so why not use it to lookup people you’ve recently email? Um, well, a good time not to use it is when someone emails you for the address of an employee of a company that you both used to work at, especially when that you’ve gone on to complain about annoying their inability to complete paperwork on time or to reply to email and phone calls in the body of the original email. Odds are you will do what I have done: accidentally CC the person you’re complaining, which is rather embarrassing even if you don’t work there anymore… and I don’t get embarrassed as a rule, but this is pretty fuckin’ close to it.

Now I just wonder how long it will take for that annoyingly ugly “ewwy” feeling in my stomach to go away, so I can eat lunch without massive agita.
