icarusI've been pretty honest with my presentation partner. We've missed our last five four meetings, first her, than me, back and forth.
I was fifteen minutes late last week and although I'd emailed to say I was running behind, I was feeling a little guilty when she wasn't there by the time I arrived at 4:45pm. This time it was my fault.
Long after the fact I received an email from her to say that "Hey I am at MGH and its about 4:50pm. I need to leave kind of soon...so if I am not here, I apologize."
I assumed that I received it so late due to technical difficulties, email bouncing around in the system. But the message looked a little weird.
I looked at it again this morning: it had a date stamp at the top of the message. In bright purple. What-?
You see, I use a gmail account for my school messages. The date stamps are completely different from the ones you see in AOL, Yahoo, MSN (also that pasted in date-stamp trick doesn't work because her AOL account updates the date-stamp anyway; she sent it at 7:49pm). Gmail's more like a thread in LJ - a totally different format. And, if you paste something in, it appears in bright purple.
I'm grinning from ear to ear, because this just amuses me to no end. You've been caught, girl.
