OK, you just finished your degree. You’ve been at it for a while now. Four, six, maybe eight years, and it was worth it. But now, you’ve received your “exit” email from your IT department. Six months, maybe a year after you graduate…your username will be deactivated. Well, that’s OK. You’re not going to be […]
The other day I heard someone use a word to describe her emails that I had never heard before…precious. She said they were her precious treasures. Huh. Really? Aren’t they JUST emails? Messages?
