Season 2.
ARE YOU READY?
Coming Soon:
An Audio message from the Fife School District
One of the best prayers.
A safety message from London, Ontario.
Facebook shenanigans.
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.

Season 1 is done.
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.
And now: The ball and chain.
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...

Greetings!
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...
Mr Snugglesworth is at 2 to 1
From: Brooks Perlin Subject: Tuesday night 5/4 at 6:30 at track at 6th Street on east river
Curtis- 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.
Shutup Meg.

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:
Meg is emailing the wrong address in order to let TOC know her correct address. Not a paradox worthy...
Wait... Art school?
FROM: Carolyn TO: Curtis Williams
Dear 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...
Next on TOC: A startling development.
Sorry about the two boring posts, but I give what I get. But what I have for tomorrow is…
Something completely different.
Well no... here's another one.

Curtis,
Just checking to see if you receive messages from me. I will resend my previous message once I hear back from you.

Maybe TOC has finally worked out what’s been happening.
Testing...

Well, at least someone decided to test his address.
Temptation.
Hi Curtis!
Hi!
My name is Sharon and I have been to several of your NFL training classes at Equinox on 43rd street.
I remember you! You were the one with the New York Jets jersey coquettishly draped off your shoulder. If I were you, I’d google the team your instructor played for before hitting on him.
Due to work constrictions, I was not able to make it today ( Feb.16th) and I am...

Note: No More Juice
That was the last email from Guiseppe ‘Juice’ Ciccolella.
Maybe he was fired by the evil tyrant Anthony! Maybe The Other Curt and the rest of the team finally got their shit together! Or maybe Juice finally confirmed TOC’s email address.
But I’m far from done.
Still to come:
What is SpeedBallsteve’s great idea?
Will TOC be tempted to moonlight at some...
Email #3: Juice's boss get involved.

Team,
How are you? I hope all is well. Today was and still is an extremely busy day and we have seen over 1,000 members already. A few good things that I have noticed:

Curtis,
Please stop buys my office as soon as you can to discuss session usage and month projection. Analyze your business prior to our meeting and compile an action plan to bolster up your business. We have suffered a back slide this pay period and I would like us to nip this at the bud.

Email #1: The Juice is back. And he's pissed.
All of your projection sheets have been placed in your boxes. Please hand them in ASAP. I should receive them by Dec 1 the Latest. Anyone who does not comply will lose work out privileges for the month in question.
On a very positive note, you guys Rock.!!!! Great job this month so far.
Let’s plan to have a huge Monday Morning as it is the last day of the month. We are a few thousand...
Genesis
In November last year, I received an email berating me (but not really me, a guy with my name and a similar email address) for not turning up to work or somesuch. I posted about it here:
In a New York Minute
I did actually reply to my ‘boss’ and he returned the favour:
Success
And then I promptly filtered that unused address off to a Gmail label and forgot about it.
I wish I...
