@Alice@beige.partyI made the mistake of accidentally opening my work email on my phone and subsequently seeing a preview of a message from my work nemesis, so I guess I'll spend the next two hours lying in bed and drafting my bratty response in my head so I can get it all out before sending the more professional version instead.
I dare you to pretend you didn’t see it.
@Alice my imaginairy email always begin with
Dear stupid fuckfaces,
while you were thinking about screwing over the world by planning the most mindless ineffective shitshow,
@Alice 2024 resolution: Be the nemesis.
We all need a work nemesis!
I used to have my project managers review my responses to make sure they were not too nasty!
@Stone1glo I seriously had my boss review it. I was like "can you please use your human brain to review my robot words?"
I (briefly) had a supervisor who asked me for the definitions of words I'd use in my emails to him that he didn't know.
Most of the time these were not technical terms

@Alice the longer you draft, the longer you make them wait, stressing about what you're going to say back. I say give it a week.
@Alice I haven’t looked but I’m guessing there’s a forum somewhere for all the emails people wish they could have sent with all the vitriol, sarcasm, bitterness and scorn heaped into it!
@jackdaw68 I like this idea.
It kind of reminds me of David Thorne's emails to his coworkers/clients on 27B/6.
Missing Missy is a personal favorite.
@Alice
I think I would be terrified to be your work nemesis. I question this person's sanity.
@stevegis_ssg Don’t worry. Nobody knows how I REALLY feel about them.
@Alice It feels good to not be alone in this.
I know it's not good for me, so my rule is that I HAVE to get out of bed and start distracting myself the instant I begin ruminating about anything at work. I don't get paid enough to ruminate about work off the clock.
@Alice sleep is overrated...
