The full story is in this post.
But essentially, some guy is terrible at giving his email address to people. He gives mine out instead. To his boss, his clients and his wife. Then I make fun of them (and him).
Pretty simple really.
ARE YOU READY?
Coming Soon:
And a financial services graduate who wants to know everything that’s happened in my life since we last spoke. And I’ve emailed him with just that.
I’m going to leave TOC alone for a bit. Probably until after I move. Trust me, there’s more - but nothing on the level of HOLY CRAP HIS WIFE IS IN THE ARMY.
Plus, I’m going to start getting hate mail for not updating my real blog.
The moment you’ve all been waiting for…
From: Lisa Williams
Subject: It’s me.I was kind of hoping you’d have to work a little longer today. I guess it is just as well. The kids need you at home. I got to talk to Dean a little bit yesterday. I took it easy on him and asked him not to worry about me. I also tried to explain how close he is to the end of school and that he doesn’t have much time left to correct the problems he’s caused. I told him to get everything done so he can enjoy his summer. I hope he pulls it off.
Anyway, I know how empty you feel crawling into bed every night. I hated that feeling. I’m sorry you have to go through that now. I had almost forgotten about it until you reminded me. I’m usually so exhausted by the time I get into bed that I don’t have time to think about lying there alone. I do dream about you though. So I feel the loneliest when I wake up in the morning.
I’m not sure how this deployment is going to go. I need to figure out when and how I will be able to schedule my gym time. Right now it seems like the morning is going to be the ideal time to do it. Its cooler outside, I can shower and eat afterward and get myself to work on time. The problem is waking up. If I do it in the evenings like I’d prefer then I may or may not be able to fit it in every day. I don’t think I can take that risk. I am going to have to train myself to get up early. Every day. It isn’t going to be easy. The other thing that worries me is that mortars tend to hit more frequently at that time of day. That scares me. It doesn’t mean I can’t run outside though. Tons of other people do it. So…I’m going to start as soon as TSgt Lightfoot is gone. He can leave as early as Tuesday. I still have to drive him in to work in the mornings with me. He I already gone today so I can’t ask him to meet me later. If I work out in the morning I will have to be up by at least 0600 to get back here by 0800. I have a meeting in the mornings every day but Sunday. I’ve got to get myself into a routine. It kind of sucks to shower in the morning though because I feel so nasty by the end of the day. We have a bunch of those bathing towelettes. I guess I can use those.
I have some things I want you to send me. I need my leatherman (it is in my jewelry box I think). I was also hoping you could burn the shows for me on DVDs. I suppose we could mail a USB drive back and forth if you prefer. I want Bones, The Biggest Loser, House, Cougar Town and United States of Tara. If you wait about two weeks and send them all on the drive I can DL them and send the drive back to you. Does that sound okay? I know I need other things too. I just can’t think of them right now. I definitely want one of my coffee mugs and something that smells like you, please. Give me a couple of days to add to the list before you send anything. I was also hoping you could ask your mom to pick some recent pictures of you, the kids and Juno and get them printed for me. She can get them printed at Mom’s. I know she always wants to help or do something and that would be a great help. I want to tape them to the underside of the top bunk so I can look at them while I’m in bed.
Okay, I guess that’s all for now. I am having some trouble getting the wireless internet to work. I probably won’t be able to get it in my room right away. The guy said they are currently hard wiring the housing area I live in but it could be months before they get to my area. For now I’ll have to rely on going to the rec center where the signal is strong. Once I get into my routine I will start heading there on my way home in the evenings. I love you so much!!! I miss you more than you can imagine. Give the kids big kisses and hugs from me and tell them I’m thinking about them ALL of the time. I love you guys.
Observation:
And then, later:
I want American Idol also on the USB stick. One other thing…let me know if there are any shows you want me to buy out here. They have a Looney Tunes set and a Tom and Jerry set that I thought Merrick might like. They have a lot of show sets too. Let me know if there is anything you or your parents want. I love you!!
I guess the piracy runs both ways…

Uhhh, hi?
Mr williams, first I would like to say that it was nice to meet you last week. Again, I apologize for not having my business card on me when I introduced myself.
It’s a rookie mistake. I like to carry around several game balls from my one pre-season with the Giants that I’ve sharpied my cellphone number onto just to give to potential clients.
I was getting off lunch break from lucille roberts and was in a rush to get back.
I can undertand. I hear Lucille is quite the sexual tyrannosaur.
As I stated I would be interested in doing a portfolio for my book. I’ve done fitness photos off& on for about 8-9 yrs. usually the subject can send their photos to periodicals for publishing if they wish. I also require that subjects that I photograph sign a model release form to be safe.
YOU WILL NOT STEAL MY SOUL, DEMON.
I did check out your website and I must say that I was impressed. (Great).
MySpace has come along way, hasn’t it? (Average)
my schedule is going to be a little hectic during the summer but probably late summer or fall would be fine. but before anything I would like for you to see my portfolio.
Look, if you want to take my picture, fine. But I only do various classic football and weightlifting poses. You know the “Heisman” and a “Rear lat press” and such.
I have worked with small newspaper co’s so my work has been published but not in fitness. this month is fine & june also early july if you would like to meet. again thanks for being kind.
thank you, Nelson.
So you’re saying you have little to no experience and don’t have any work planned for almost three months.
I’ll get back to you.

Subject: Tuesday night 5/4 at 6:30 at track at 6th Street on east riverCurtis- can you email Mark so he can come as well. See you all there!
Brooks
No way, Brooks! Mark’s a total blabbermouth. Kitten racing is serious business and we don’t need the fuzz at the track busting it up.

Subject: :)Hey Curtis!
The shop is so busy today I can’t believe I got the time to email you! lol.
Well this is my email address and obviously now you know my name.
Have a good day!

Several points come to mind:
FROM: Carolyn
TO: Curtis WilliamsDear Curtis: This is a brief message to confirm our appointment to meet here at The Art Institute of Seattle on 05/10/2010 at 10:00 AM. Please mark your calendar.
It’s a good idea to make a list of any questions that may occur to you between now and then, so we can be sure to discuss them during your visit to the school.
In addition, please feel free to invite someone to come with you. Often, having a parent or friend along can help you get a more complete understanding of your needs, and whether the school and program of study are a good fit.
If you need directions to the school, or have to change your appointment for any reason, please contact me at the number below as early as possible. Or, if you prefer, reply to this message to let me know how I can help. I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely, Carolyn
Facts we know about TOC:
I think it’s safe to say that this is YET ANOTHER Curtis. Unless TOC is thinking about a career change. Now, I have to tell you - there are at least 2 other people who regularly use my address.
But I want to know more about this kid. Did he make it to art school? Did his mum come to the interview? Is The Art Institute of Seattle all it’s cracked up to be?
Next: The Other Curtis and the Vortex of Irony.
This email was sent months in advance of this meeting date, meaning Carolyn is the most organised person I’ve encountered on this project.
Sorry about the two boring posts, but I give what I get. But what I have for tomorrow is…
Something completely different.
Subject: Velocity
Curtis,
Just checking to see if you receive messages from me. I will resend my previous message once I hear back from you.
Philip
Maybe TOC has finally worked out what’s been happening.
