The Office Email

The joke email phenomenon is not one that can be fully understood until you gain employment in an office. Traditionally, workplaces are a mix of people from different educational backgrounds and cultural backgrounds alike. Combine over a half dozen people with their own email friends and you've got yourself a forward friendly network!

When you're all working in a close environment and you start laughing, everyone heads over to your desk to see what's going on. Soon your aisle all has a copy, then the next aisle and everyone's friends in between. This was the one that's got big time laughs today.

In fact, today the emails were flying in from all directions. I've gotta say it's pretty cool that more of us are getting into office jobs. I spent far too much time today reading and forwarding them!

I conclude that this is how people stayed entertained at work before blogs were around: people using their Excel or Office skills (that they probably learned on the job) to create entertainment for thousands. K? K.
